This is how you make watermelon-mojito ice pops

  2. Divide the mojito mixture among the molds, cover, and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Add the lime peels and reserved mint leaves to the pops, insert the sticks, and freeze for another 12 to 14 hours until solid.
  3. Got the taste? Then fill your freezer with our other favorites: Bloody Mary ice pops.
