These ice pops provide childhood nostalgia with grownup flavor. Chef Mai Pham purees summery watermelon with raspberries, ginger and cayenne for a refreshing sweet-savory treat. Serve these ice pops as is or make them smaller and serve as garnishes for drinks (with or without alcohol). For a quick cooler, double the watermelon mixture recipe and serve with watermelon infused sparkling water.
