THE SUCKER RACE
Fight the brain-freeze with the sucker race! With the girl’s hands tied behind their back, each participant has to race to finish their boozy popsicles.

To avoid being a basic b, flavour your vodka soda’s by placing an alcoholic iceblock in your glass.

Refreshing AND flavoursome!

THE ICE-BREAKER GAME
The group will break the ice with personal questions whilst playing ‘I Never Ever’. However, instead of sculling a drink, those who answer ‘yes’ to the question have to take a hefty bite out of their alcoholic popsicles. Hurts my teeth just thinking about it!
