September is here and we’re having to come to terms with the fact that the end of summer is upon us. But before you pack away the cooler and hang up your sun hat, try one of our poptail recipes (that’s a popsicle and cocktail combination!) using Chloe’s popsicles -fruit pops made with just fruit, water and cane sugar; no stabilizers, no additives and nothing artificial. You can either alternate between licking your pop and sipping your drink or submerge your pop in your cocktail and let it melt and blend – the choice is yours but we promise, indulging in one of these sweet treats is the perfect way to bid adieu to summertime.
