Just for you, my dear, just for you:

Blue Martini Popsicles

1.5 cups water
1/4 cup sugar (or a bit less if you prefer less sweetness)
fresh lemon zest strips (from approx 1/2 lemon)

Simmer these together to dissolve sugar, and then cool.

3 - 6 tablespoons gin (Tanqueray is a good choice)
2 tablespoons vermouth (or to taste)
1 - 2 tablespoons blue Curaçao

Stir these into the cooled syrup and discard the zest. Pour into popsicle molds and freeze at least overnight.

Should be a very pretty shade of blue!

I'm not sure how well these will freeze if you use the max alcohol. I'll have to try it and see!
