Author Notes

This recipe was inspired by a trip to mexico. I drank a lot of micheladas (beer + lime juice + salt + hot sauce) during my visit and I recently came up with this refreshing ice pops version (including fruit & veg!) If you'd like, you can also add a generous pinch of salt along with the lime wedge for a spicy-sweet-salty-cold combination. —runnerskitchen
