Boba POPS provide a boozy burst to your favorite drinks and desserts. One of our favorite ways to use Boba POPS is in frozen margaritas, piña coladas, daiquiris, and other frozen cocktails. We also like to add them to hard seltzers, teas, and lemonades to make them “harder”. They are also a key ingredient in a Bobatini - our version of a martini with a “pop”!
