Steps:
- With the back of a heavy chef's knife, bruise the lemongrass stalk to expose the inside fibers and cut it into 1-inch lengths. Combine the lemongrass pieces, ginger, sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook a few minutes until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and steep for 20 minutes.
- Strain the syrup into a bowl, discarding the solids. Place the bowl over a larger bowl filled with ice and whisk the syrup until it cools. Combine the pineapple juice, coconut milk, rum and all of the cooled syrup in a blender and blend; it will make a nice frothy layer on top. Pour into 4 tumblers with or without ice and garnish with the mint or lemongrass.

Steps:

Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple gives the pina colada ice pops a more vibrant flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use frozen pineapple, but thaw it completely before using.
- Use full-fat coconut milk: Full-fat coconut milk gives the pina colada ice pops a richer flavor and creamier texture. If you don't have full-fat coconut milk, you can use light coconut milk, but the ice pops will be less creamy.
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger gives the pina colada ice pops a more intense flavor. If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger, but use half the amount.
- Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar you add to the pina colada ice pops is up to you. If you like your ice pops sweeter, add more sugar. If you prefer a less sweet ice pop, add less sugar or omit it altogether.
- Freeze the ice pops for at least 4 hours before serving: This will ensure that the ice pops are fully frozen and have a firm texture.
Conclusion:
These ginger pina colada ice pops are a refreshing and delicious treat that are perfect for a hot summer day. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a cool and refreshing snack, give these ginger pina colada ice pops a try!
