Popsicles are blowing the roof off of the summertime food trend charts. This time they’re not just the old school standard fruit and water blends. The new summer refreshers are savory ice pops, adult versions laced with alcohols and liqueurs, and unusual combination’s using herbs, fresh fruits and vegetables. They’re making appearances everywhere: In high end restaurants, as martini garnishes, and hopefully soon in your kitchen!

Here’s why we love them: Besides being a great way to beat the heat, they have a charming retro nostalgic vibe, they’re slightly sensual, and are amazingly easy to prepare. Today, our contributing chefs share their versions for you to try. Feel free to use a fancy popsicle making kit, or keep it real using wooden sticks and small dixie cups. Make them and indulge! We guarantee they will be a smash hit at your next outdoor party.

Chef Harry Hawk’s Klondike Beer Milkshake

Ingredients
2 chocolate Klondike bars
1½–2 oz. Dogfish Head World Wide Stout or Chicory Stout or Indian Brown Ale

Instructions
