Ingredients

Method

Finely grate lime zest to make 1/2 tsp; juice lime to make 2 tbsp.

In blender, purée together watermelon and half each of the honey, lime zest and lime juice until smooth. Add half of the mint; purée until mixture is smooth with a few small pieces of mint remaining. Divide among ten 3-oz shot glasses. Freeze until surface is firm, about 1 1/2 hours.

In clean blender, purée together cantaloupe and remaining honey, lime zest and lime juice until smooth. Add remaining mint; purée until mixture is smooth with a few small pieces of mint remaining. Pour over watermelon mixture, dividing evenly. Cover each ice pop with small piece of foil; cut slit in centre of each. Insert pop sticks into centres. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours. (Make-ahead: Freeze for up to 3 days.)

Immerse shot glasses in lukewarm water for about 30 seconds before unmoulding ice pops.

Tip from The Test Kitchen: If you're using two-ounce shot glasses, divide the purées among 15 glasses and freeze the watermelon mixture for only one hour.
