Frozen Alcohol Dessert Recipes - Alcoholic Ice Popsicles. Popsicles! Not to sound full of myself, but I’m pretty sure this is the be all, end all of popsicle roundups.

And then I looked for malted milk powder, which was one of the three essential ingredients the recipe called for. The next morning I assembled my ingredients.
