These Adult-Only Popsicles Are Turning Out To Be A Massive Hit

Winter has done nothing to slow down the popularity of the alcoholic popsicles taking SA by storm.

Remember those alcoholic popsicles we told you about back in March?

Turns out we were right about them.

Apart from making my life significantly better, they’ve been adding a touch of whimsy, fun and booze to parties and picnics all over the country.

FrostBars are even starting to replace whisky and vodka bars at weddings, and they do make for amazing photo opportunities.

If you haven’t tried them yet – and you should, not least because science says eating cold stuff in winter is good for you – here are some reviews from the taste testers at Business Insider, who loved the range and were particularly impressed with the pioneering Tranquille popsicle:

Our tasters gave this popsicle high scores all round. From look to overall yumminess, this was a well-liked popsicle.

“Very nice, perfect for summer,” said one taster. Another described it as simply “delightful”.

We always like the word “delightful” when combined with anything alcoholic.

Frost Popsicles first launched in September 2016 with the Tranquille and Brut Pierre Jourdan Popsicles. The range now comprises nine Popsicles in total – six alcoholic and three non-alcoholic.

That’s right, non-alcoholic for those who don’t want the adult-only twist.

Frost Popsicles include no artificial ingredients and, with the exception of the Vanilla Coffee Non-Alcoholic Popsicle, the range is dairy-free and vegan-friendly, so there really is something for everyone.

If you want to get in on the action, head on over to the Frost Popsicles website, where you can order ‘The perfect 10’.
Mix and match 10 of your favourite Frost Popsicles as you please, choosing from the full range, and have them delivered to your door.
The perfect 10 is priced from R240, which is less than you’d spend buying the ingredients to make a dessert or provide booze for 10 people.

Or, you know, just treat yourself.

Nothing improves a rough workday more than a knowing you have a boozy popsicle waiting for you when 5PM rolls around.
