Pop-N Watermelon Agua Fresca


POPlicious!



Yes people, I love candy and I love Pop Rocks. And if you haven't notice I have an addiction to all things Mexican. So here we go!  I have one of my favorite beverages, Agua Fresca, which is just fruit water. 

 
I kicked it up with some frozen all-natural, all-fruit Popsicles. Make sure you allow the fruit bars to sit out for a few minutes to make them easier to remove from the stick.


Then I added  some watermelon which is perfect this time of year. 


But make sure you don't forget the main ingredient, POP ROCKS!

Look how pretty they are! Just the perfect shade of pink...


 

Everything is mixed into this beautiful picture, filled with ice and served nice and chilled. Add extra pop rocks to the jar if you have any left. Stand back because they're about to pop everywhere!

 

I always make this for my Baby Girl Birthday and sometimes I add frozen strawberries to the mix to act as ice cubes. Perfect for a pretty and pink party!


Drink Up!

    1. It is crazy Shawna, I use the Popsicle to reduce the amount of sugar needed. That was my baby girl idea. I didn't want a lot of sugar and she said use Popsicle their all natural, all fruit...there you go. It worked and you don't have to add any sugar if you don't want too...lol
