Ingredients
Scale
Slushie Base
- 1 packet of Kool-Aid (any flavor you prefer)
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to sweetness preference)
- 2 cups cold water
- 2 cups ice cubes
Optional Add-In
- 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda (for extra fizz and flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the Kool-Aid: In a pitcher, combine one packet of Kool-Aid with half a cup of sugar and 2 cups of cold water. Stir thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved to create a sweet, flavorful base.
- Make the Slushie: Pour the Kool-Aid mixture into a blender along with 2 cups of ice cubes. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and slushy. For a thicker slushie, add more ice cubes; for a thinner, more drinkable texture, add a little more water.
- Optional Fizz: To make a fizzy version, add half a cup of lemon-lime soda to the blender and pulse a couple of times to combine without losing the carbonation.
- Serve: Pour the finished slushie into glasses immediately. Serve with straws and, if desired, garnish with extra ice or fresh fruit to enhance presentation and flavor.
Notes
- You can use any flavor of Kool-Aid for customized taste experiences.
- Adjust sugar amount based on your preference or substitute with a sugar alternative.
- For a non-fizzy version, omit the lemon-lime soda.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture; slushies will melt if left out too long.
- Adding fresh fruit as garnish can complement the sweet flavors and add a fresh touch.
