Lime is one of more popular flavors used in paletas – paletas de limón. I love lime too, especially in a mojito with mint leaves. So I used the combination, plus a little orange, and came up with a mojito flavored popsicle sans the rum.
The Mojito Popsicles are very tangy and strong, so you may want to add more water and back off on the juice unless you love lime as much as I do.
These are popsicles for grownups as well as any kiddos out there, like my daughter Lucie, who love to chew on fresh lime pieces. This mix would also make great flavored ice cubes for mojitos and other rum drinks.

DEAR GOD. Those are gorgeous! I wonder if I could just rub them all over my face. Yes? No?
Bev, I think it would get a little messy (and very sticky) if you did that
These look fabulous! Love the flavor combo
Yum! These sounds like a truly delicious combination of flavors. Fantastic.
