Turn your Tito's cocktail into a poptail.
It’s hot here in Austin.
You know that “fry an egg on the sidewalk” kind of hot you see in movies? Yeah, well, it's real in the summer. We’ve been trying to stay hydrated and happy, but after we hit 101° all bets are off and we start melting.
So, it's time to turn your Tito's cocktail into a poptail. Just toss everything in a blender, fill up re-sealable popsicle molds, and freeze them overnight!
Watermelon Infusion
Watermelon serves as a summer favorite. Funny thing, we think the same thing about Tito’s. What if you combined the two for an infusion you’re sure to love? Give it a try. Just let your bottle sit for a few days before mixing up a fresh cocktail so it all has time to percolate.
