- For a sweeter treat, increase the amount of grenadine slightly.
- To make Bomb Pop popsicles, ensure the molds are sealed tightly and sticks are firmly inserted before freezing.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, blend a bit longer but avoid melting the ice.
- Serve immediately when consumed as a drink to enjoy the best icy consistency.
