These popsicles don’t require many ingredients. The only requirement is that you’re sitting back and relaxing on your back porch or by the pool as you enjoy them. You’ll love the sweet flavor of the pops that are put together in no time. If you’re excited to try something new this summer, then let’s dive into this recipe.
What is Campari?
Have you heard of ordering a Negroni as an aperitif? Maybe an Americano? If so, then I’m sure that you have heard of Campari.
However, if you don’t know what that is, it’s simple. Campari is a very popular spirit that is made up of bitter orange mixed with various spices. I would describe it as sweet orange upfront, but then closes out with a harsh, bitter orange flavor at the end. Needless to say, Campari is best served with a mixer like Orange Juice, Club Soda, Gin, or even just a splash of water.

Make a simple syrup: you’ll want to combine the sugar and ⅔ cup water in a saucepan and bring to a bowl.
Go ahead and remove from heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. Let cool.
In a pitcher combine the simple syrup, orange juice, Campari, and lemon juice.
Pour mixture into ice pop molds, add pop sticks and freeze until set, at least 8 hours.
The really cool thing about this recipe is you can change things up as you see fit. Since these are alcoholic ice pops, you can leave the alcohol out and make a virgin version.
The kids are going to LOVE learning how to make non-alcoholic ice pops too. Spend some time experimenting and have fun with it.
