Nothing says Summer eating to me like Strawberry Shortcakes and since it’s Canada Day Weekend here, I’m in a red and white mood and thought this would be the perfect sweet cap to the weekend.  I absolutely love this recipe, it’s super simple and rustic, which is code for fool proof!  The more ‘imperfect’ it looks, the better actually!

For the first time in a number of years Canada Day falls on a Friday, making the holiday that much sweeter!  A long weekend to kick back, relax and celebrate this amazing country we are so privileged to call home.

And what says long weekend more than popsicles and cocktails?  So why not combine them! Yes, please!  These minty Watermelon Margarita Popsicles are easy and delicious.  Make them kiddo friendly by simply omitting the tequila. And for double dose of fun, use them in place of ice in Watermelon Margaritas!

Cheers!  Wishing you a wonderful Canada Day weekend and to my friends south of the border, Happy 4th of July!
