Just when people thought that summer was over, the weather heats up and the sun starts shining; to celebrate, a few Bloody Mary Popsicles are in order. Although they don't look that appetizing, at least when compared to other frozen treats, they are the perfect alcoholic cool-down for this extended season. Not only do the Bloody Mary Popsicles have a delicious savory taste, they boast a bread stick wrapped in bacon in place of the more traditional wooden stick.
Conceived by Perry Santanachote of Thrillist, the Bloody Mary Popsicles not only involves a lot of bacon, but also a lot of vodka. Mostly because people will be ingesting both while preparing the Bloody Mary Popsicles. Great for end of summer parties, the popsicles require at least 12 hours to make.
