Ingredients

5 cups seedless watermelon , cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup lemon-lime soda
2 tablespoons sugar or honey

Instructions

Place the watermelon chunks into your blender. Blend on high until smooth, about 1 minute. (Taste the mixture and add more sugar or honey if you want it sweeter.)
Pour the watermelon juice mixture evenly into your popsicle molds; place the lid on.
Transfer to the freezer for 1 hour.
Insert the popsicle sticks into the molds and place them back in the freezer for another 3 to 4 hours until they are completely set.
Remove the popsicles from the molds and enjoy. (If not serving right away, wrap each popsicle with plastic wrap and store in a freezer safe plastic bag.)
NOTE: See notes in full article how to make these if you don't own popsicle molds.
FLAVOR VARIATIONS:
No Soda. To keep it kid-friendly without the soda, replace the lemon-lime soda with white grape juice.
Boozy popsicles. For boozy popsicles, replace the lemon-lime soda with 3/4 cup chilled regular vodka or watermelon vodka and 1/4 cup club soda.
Mojito popsicles. For a Mojito flavored popsicle, replace the lemon-lime soda with 1/2 cup white rum and 1/4 cup club soda. Add 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon mint extract.
