Ingredients
Scale
Slushie Mixture
- 1 packet of Kool-Aid (any flavor you prefer)
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference)
- 2 cups cold water
- 2 cups ice cubes
Optional
- 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda (for extra fizz and flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the Kool-Aid: In a pitcher, mix the Kool-Aid packet with sugar and 2 cups of cold water. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Make the Slushie: Pour the Kool-Aid mixture into a blender, add the ice cubes, and blend until the mixture becomes smooth and slushy. Adjust texture by adding more ice for thickness or a bit more water for a thinner consistency.
- Optional Fizz: For a fizzy version, add the lemon-lime soda to the blender and pulse a couple of times to gently combine without losing carbonation.
- Serve: Pour the slushie into glasses immediately. Serve with a straw, and optionally garnish with extra ice or fresh fruit for a delightful presentation.
Notes
- Adjust sugar to taste based on the sweetness of your Kool-Aid packet and personal preference.
- For a sugar-free version, use a sugar substitute compatible with freezing and blending.
- If you don’t have a blender, you can crush the ice separately and mix with Kool-Aid for a similar texture.
- Adding lemon-lime soda is optional but adds a pleasant fizz and light citrus note.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal slushie texture before melting occurs.
