Consider using a tall shot glass instead of a mold for this adult popsicle that's on the sweet side. Forgo the traditional stick and substitute a spoon; use plastic wrap over the glass to keep the spoon in place during freezing.
This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled. The batch of syrup in this recipe yields approximately 8 popsicles.

Ingredients
measuring cupServings: 1 popsicle
Directions
Step 1
Combine the wine, liqueur and elderflower syrup in a liquid measuring cup. Pour into the popsicle mold of your choice. Transfer to the freezer; freeze for 3 to 4 hours, until set.
Step 2
To serve, dip the mold briefly into lukewarm water so the popsicle releases easily.
Step 3
NOTE: To make the elderflower syrup, combine 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest and 1/4 cup St-Germain liqueur in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is combined. Cook until the mixture is bubbling at the edges, then remove from the heat and cool. Cover, and refrigerate in a tightly sealed container.
