| We discovered Mirassou at an incredible SITS Girls Bloggy Boot Camp |
I came up with several quick and easy Popsicle with Mirassou wine: Moscato for its refreshing sweetness, Chardonnay for its medium body and fruit forward peachy/ nectarine notes, and Sunset Red to take advantage of its sophisticated pomegranate and dark cherry.
If I may say so myself, I think these creations made with Mirassou wine will be a perfect mix to create Popsicle delight for dessert foodies.
Here is the first one: I called it Veiled Watermelon
Guests loved the idea of having different flavors come at them while they worked their way through the popsicle. The lemon slice at the bottom helped absorbing some of the melted juices.
The second popsicle is our Red Sweetness
This was my favorite posicle to make and offer. The colors really popped out and looked sleek and elegant.
Before I share my next two recipes, let me tell you a little about Mirassou wines. Thanks to an amazing Bloggy Boot Camp by the SITS girls in Miami a few months ago, I was privileged to hear David Mirassou talk to us about wine. He shared a few ideas on pairing foods with wine, and helped us see wine in a different light. Bottom line, his motto is that wine is to be enjoyed how each of us would like to. Mmmmm not so sure about going against my grandmother’s teachings on how red wine is to enjoy with red meats and white for poultry, fruits, and fish. I was really taken when Mr. Mirassou said he put ice in his wine. Oh yes, my grandmother is turning in her grave.
I need to heed Mr. Mirassou’s advice. After all he is a 6thgeneration wine maker. The Mirassou company started in America when Pierre Pellier came from France looking for the best California had to offer. In operation since 1854, Mirassou is the oldest wine-making family in America. Mirassou prides itself offering us products made with part optimism and part California sunshine.
Back to recipes, next up is the Tart Strawberry Chardonay.
Finally, taking advantage of our Florida Oranges, I used Orange juice to add another variety to my Mirassou collection of Popsicles. This one we call the Sunshinesicle
Easy peasy! Do you agree?
I can’t wait for you to try it out and come back to tell me what you think. I am thinking of a Mango Tropical Mirassou Popsicle next…
He is on a crusade to have everyone enjoy wine “the way you like it” and so I believe we have.

I have no idea why I never thought to do this before, but I kind of love you right now. I am totally trying this.
Healthy and delicious!! I love the idea and I need to make these for myself. 😀
I agree! There are plenty of combinations available too!
Now you’re talking! I need to do this tonight.
I like how there’s already a spoon in the popsicle. Makes for a better way to eat them.
I’ve never had frozen wine before so not sure how it would taste, but they look super good. I’ve never thought about doing this before.
I think I could actually make these. We still have some nice hot days of summer to enjoy these with 🙂
I don’t drink myself but I’m even tempted to try one – they look so good! Perhaps I could get away with swapping the wine for lemonade 🙂 x
These sounds and looks yummy. I can’t wait to try them out.
Okay, this is a BRILLIANT idea! Why did I not think of this?!
That sounds like a real frozen treat for moms and dads to enjoy on those hot summer days watching the kids runaround in the sprinklers. Thanks for sharing.
wow me encantan estas paletas haya te caigo al happy hour =)
This is such a cool idea. Perfect for an adults-only back to school party!
These look so yummy! I think my favorite would be the watermelon one.
These look delicious! I am craving a adult and refreshing treat now!
Slurppppp! These look so refreshing & store bought! I’m so excited to try to make this cool treat. Thank you for sharing.

Delicious!!! I am a big fan of Moscato wines and love to pair them with fruit! I had a peach moscato last night in fact. These pops are something I will be trying, for sure!
Oh boy these look absolutely incredible. Refreshing too. I will be trying these!
That’d be a nice surprise dessert for hubby next time he said he had a sweet tooth. Surely he’d laugh but love it.
These look really cool! Great for a hot day. Thanks for all the combinations! My kids would love to try these
Adult popsicles with wine?!? Heck yeah! This look amazing!
