Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

- Freeze for about 1 hour, or until partially frozen.
- In a separate bowl, mix the blue raspberry drink mix with 1/2 cup of water.
- Pour the blue raspberry mixture on top of the partially frozen raspberry layer, filling another 1/3 of the mold.
- Freeze for another hour, or until partially frozen.
- Top with the remaining raspberry lemonade mixture.
- Insert popsicle sticks and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely solid.
- To unmold, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds.
Notes
- For a creamier popsicle, add a splash of heavy cream to the raspberry lemonade mixture.
- If you don’t have popsicle molds, you can use small paper cups and insert popsicle sticks.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sugar.
