Growing up, mom always told us to eat our fruits and veggies. But with the new boozy fruit trend that’s sweeping the nation, moms everywhere will never have to worry about their adult kiddies forgoing their daily servings of either of those again. That’s right, Mom, we’re making fresh fruit popsicles, seasonal fruit salad, homemade fruit preserves and refreshing fruit granita on the regular — all with a hefty serving of tequila, limoncello and white wine :)
