Lemon Juice - Freshly squeezed lemon juice is my go-to when making anything that uses lemon juice as a predominant flavour. These are also perfect for the whole family, sweet enough for the children to dive into, and also zingy and refreshing enough to appeal to adult palettes alike.

I liked them poking out the top, so I used pegs to pinch them to the popsicle stick and hold them both in place.
