# Expert tips:

01 -

They're basically a mimosa you can hold in your hand without worrying about spilling on your favorite dress.
Takes almost no actual cooking time, which means more time laughing with your people instead of being stuck at the stove.

02 -

Don't let that sparkling wine sit in the blender or mix it too aggressively—you'll end up with flat popsicles and your friends will judge you silently while eating them anyway.
The freezing time is not negotiable; underfrozen means they'll be slushy and you'll be standing there wondering why they won't pop out of the molds at dinner time.

03 -

Save a few extra strawberries to blend if your first batch looks too pale—color matters for these because half the magic is how gorgeous they look sitting in a glass.
Keep the molds in a freezer bag after they're frozen so they don't absorb weird flavors from whatever else is in there and taste like last week's fish.
