I know I’ve been on a popsicle kick lately. I promise I’ll ease up soon and return to baking with sugar and butter. But before that transition, here’s another ginger beer–inspired recipe worth sharing.
Dark and Stormy Cocktail Popsicle
Like I mentioned, I’m a bit late to the ginger beer party and still catching up. This version highlights an unexpected fruit: red velvet apricots.
If you’re unfamiliar with them, I was surprised too. Red velvet apricots—sometimes called black velvet apricots—stand out from the common orange variety. The “velvet” label adds a little mystique and distinction, and their deeper hue is a pleasant surprise when you encounter them.
How do these red velvet apricots compare to traditional apricots? They bring a slightly different appearance and nuance in flavor, but they can be used in the same ways you’d use ordinary apricots—especially in refreshing treats like popsicles and cocktails.
