If you want to create a buzz at your next party, save this recipe because it's easy, refreshing, and doubles as an instant conversation starter. We are skipping the blender and making my favorite Margarita Poptail! This cocktail on a stick is a make-ahead option and is easily customizable with whatever kind of juice you prefer. Plus, it’s just boozy enough to keep the conversations going. — Elise Jesse, Cincinnati, Ohio

- 3 to 4 tablespoons simple syrup

Directions
