A solution for those immersed in the sultry dog days of summer might be Laura Fyfe’s new book, Poptails: Over 40 Alcohol-Infused Popsicles, Ices and Slushes (Spruce, $12.99). Fyfe offers some poptail prep coaching, from making a sugar syrup to turning the mixtures into slushes or pops.
There are 40 recipes, including a rum-flavored melon daiquiri, a vodka-spiked gazpacho and a bourbon-and-mint blueberry pop, all designed to inspire your own creativity.
