2 tablespoons lime juice up to 4 tablespoons, depending to your taste

Pour into silicone popsicle molds, insert sticks, and freeze overnight.

Tips For Success

For the watermelon, you don’t have to add the water. Since watermelon has a high water content, you can use an extra 2 cups of fruit instead.
For the cucumber and kiwi, you can go 50/50 or 75/25, depending on which you want to be the dominant flavor.
Silicone molds are the best, as the popsicles can be removed easier.
