Home Made Summer has a whole chapter devoted to drinks. This one is a drink dessert: a frozen Negroni with pieces of fig. Boozy and sweet, it's an ideal end to a summer meal.
Tips: The thicker the stick you use for these, the better. Silicone ice pop molds make the whole process a little simpler due to their flexibility.
Tweaks: If you changed the liquid ingredients, it would no longer be a Negroni pop. But, if you can't stand fig, leave it out or replace it with pieces of another favorite fruit.
