It's almost the weekend!  I can taste it, can you?  We are headed to Louisiana for the weekend to hang with friends and family and feast ourselves on my father-in-law's famous crawfish.  To say I'm excited about his crawfish would be an understatement...I literally eat more than every grown man at the table!  There are a few things in this life that I will change my plans for and one of those is a crawfish boil...the other happens to be champagne.  Just mention the word and I am there!  One of my favorite activities on the weekend is brunch and I think half of that is the fact that I can drink mimosas before noon and it is 100% acceptable.  And what's even better than that is a mimosa turned into a popsicle!  My mimosa pops swimming in even more champagne are the perfect addition to your at-home brunch plans this weekend!

I first had a taste of a mimosa popsicle in Round Top, Texas a few years ago.  It was about 100 degrees and that popsicle was one of the best things I've ever tasted.  I don't know why I have waited so long to make my own at home, but I finally got smart and made my own version.

You, of course can eat these pops on their own, but my favorite thing to do is add them to a glass of champagne for a double whammy delicious cocktail.  These would be completely adorable for any shower, brunch party, and of course are great to have in your freezer when you just need a little treat.  Whatever the occasion, you definitely need to make these mimosa popsicles soon!

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups of Orange Juice

• 1 Cup of Dry Champagne or Prosecco

Directions:

• Mix together orange juice and champagne and then pour into popsicle molds.

• Let the popsicles freeze for 45 minutes to an hour until the popsicles begin to freeze slightly.

• Place popsicle sticks inside at this point so that they will stand up. (if you are using the molds that have handles already, you can put them on immediately.)

• Let freeze overnight and serve whenever the mood hits in a glass of chilled champagne.

Cheers to the weekend friends!  I hope it is filled with lots of champagne and love! Xo
