Instructions:

- Stir the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Pour in 1/3 cup of rum and 1 cup of lemonade into the sugar-mint-lime mixture.
- Stir thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
- Place a few slices or wedges of lime into each popsicle mold for added flavor and aesthetic appeal.
- Carefully pour the mojito mixture into the popsicle molds, leaving a small space at the top to allow the mixture to expand as it freezes.

- Freeze the popsicles for at least 4-6 hours, or until completely solid.
- To release the pops, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds, being careful not to melt the popsicles.
