Basil Hayden’s Bourbon has teamed up with celebrity mixologist Rob Floyd to create new popsicle cocktails that are perfect for the dog days of August.
We’re due to have at least one more heat wave across the country, and these pop-tails are just the thing to keep you cool into the night. With a refreshing berry pop as well as a twist on a classic fudgesicle, these pop-tails are super easy to make and are a great refreshment after a long day at work.
