Yay, Summer is here! We are lovin' this sudden burst of summery goodness (thanks to the leaving and junior cert students for that!) in the One Fab Day office. So as we sit in our Summer attire, brand new sunnies perched on our heads, with the windows wide open baking in the gorgeous heat, we're daydreaming of refreshing summer drinks - the non-alcoholic, super tasty kind that you can make at home (ah, it is only the middle of the week after all!). So I happily trawled though lots of lovely recipes this morning and put together a selection of poptails (my new favourite word!) aka ice lollies, and lemonade recipes that will have you dashing to the shops for ingredients on the way home this evening!

Poptails (c'mon Lucy, who're you kidding they're Ice Lollies -Ed) are super easy to make and as I discovered today can literally be made from all sorts of delicious ingredients. Ikea stock super cheap and colourful popsicle holders to start the summer off and popsicle recipes flowing. Check out all these summer-tastic recipes...
