Summer Fun for the Orally Fixated

Does that just look heavenly? And talk about talent! Looks like he is going to do a walrus impression!



Well helooooooooo everyone and a happy Friday to y'all! If your like the Mistress and enjoy summer, you probably like something nice, cool, and hard to sink your teeth into. Something to suck on that will let you exercise your tongue. Work the oral stress away. The Mistress has always been very skilled when it comes to orally pleasing her guest(s). Now, I bet you people were thinking dirty weren't you? Like gutter dirty. Well, what I'm referring to is a childhood joy of slurping an icy popsicle on a hot day! What did you think I was talking about?



These pretty pastel pops serve up summer nostalgia with a Mistress boozy adult twist.The secret ingredient is Campari, the scarlet Italian aperitif made from herbs, spices and fruit.



It's traditionally served over ice with soda water and a slice of lime or a splash of juice. A great summer barbecue drink, Campari is refreshing in the heat and mild enough you can sip it all afternoon without worries, trust me, I have! The pops are sweeter, fruitier and just plain fun. All you need is four ingredients and a couple of kiddie popsicle molds from the 99 cent store. The pink grapefruit pops are perfect for Campari lovers – tart, with the alcohol's distinctly bittersweet flavor. If they were served in a little glass at a fancy restaurant you'd call them palate cleansing I tell ya! The orange versions are sweeter, a mouthful of frosty orange with a just a little extra something. Mix up a batch of each – popsicles never felt so classy people. Give a couple to your cute lawn boy, before you know the shirts off and he's eating out of your hands! If your lucky, he may even forget to charge ya. Take some down to the local fraternity house and you'll be the most popular cougar in town! I going to make a batch this weekend and give the extras to the built guys working on the pool remodel five miles up the road! Here are the recipes-

Campari Citrus Popsicles
makes 10-15, depending on the size

Grapefruit Pops
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
3 cups grapefruit juice
1/2 cup Campari

Orange Pops
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
3 cups orange juice
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup Campari

Mix the water and sugar together in a small pan over a low heat, and bring up to boil until the sugar dissolves. Allow the simple syrup to boil for 4 minutes, remove from heat and cool (makes a little over 1 cup). Combine the citrus juice and Campari and add 1 cup of the cooled syrup. You might want to have a couple of glasses of Campari to make sure it is fine and taste right. Adjust to taste: for the grapefruit pops, you may want to add a tablespoon or two of extra syrup if you prefer them less tart. Remember, the mixture will taste slightly sweeter in liquid form than it does when frozen. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze at least 8 hours or overnight. To remove, run the molds quickly under hot water, and gently pull out the pops. Take them to your hot neighbor and enjoy the day as it gets hotter. Just make sure you put your bloomers back on the right way. Enjoy the weekend. I'll be poolside again enjoying the views! Tootles!
