Description
This Kool-Aid Slurpee is a quick, frosty homemade drink with a sweet fruity flavor and smooth, icy texture. Customize it with your favorite Kool-Aid flavor for an easy summer treat.
Ingredients
½ cup hot water
1 cup granulated sugar
1½ cups cold water
2 packets Kool-Aid, favorite flavor
4½ cups ice cubes
Instructions
- Add the hot water and granulated sugar to a small mixing bowl and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Pour the sweetened water into a blender.
- Add the cold water and briefly blend or stir to combine.
- Add both packets of Kool-Aid and blend briefly until evenly distributed and uniform in color.
- Add the ice cubes, secure the blender lid, and pulse until the ice is finely crushed and the drink is thick, smooth, and slushy.
- Pour immediately into glasses and serve with straws while icy and frosty.
Notes
Use any favorite Kool-Aid flavor, such as cherry, grape, tropical punch, watermelon, or berry.
For stronger fruit flavor, replace some of the cold water with a complementary fruit juice or lemonade.
Add extra ice for a thicker Slurpee. If it becomes too thick to blend, add cold water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time.
Two compatible Kool-Aid flavors can be combined to create a custom flavor.
Reduce the granulated sugar to taste for a less-sweet drink.
Serve immediately for the best slushy texture.
Freeze leftovers in an airtight freezer-safe container. Let them soften slightly, then re-blend with a splash of cold water before serving.
