Ingredients
Scale
Slushie Base
- 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 Fizz
- 1/2 cup lemon-lime soda (optional, 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 to create a sweet flavor base.
- Make the Slushie: Pour the Kool-Aid mixture into a blender along with the ice cubes. Blend until the texture is smooth and slushy. Adjust the thickness by adding more ice for a thicker consistency or more water if you prefer it thinner.
- Optional Fizz: For a fizzy version, add 1/2 cup of lemon-lime soda to the blender and pulse a couple of times just to combine without fully blending the bubbles away.
- Serve: Pour the finished slushie into glasses immediately. Serve with a straw and optionally garnish with extra ice or fresh fruit for a festive touch.
Notes
- Adjust the sugar quantity as per your sweetness preference or dietary needs.
- You can use any Kool-Aid flavor to customize the taste.
- For a thicker slushie, add more ice cubes; for a thinner one, add more water or soda.
- Serve immediately for the best texture as the ice will melt over time.
- Optional garnishes like fresh fruit or mint leaves can enhance presentation and flavor.
