Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 packet Kool Aid flavoring syrup preferably in bright color like red or green
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • ½ cup cold water to help blend
  • 2 tsp sugar (optional) for extra sweetness if desired

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Pour the Kool Aid syrup into the blender. Add the cold water and sugar if using, then blend briefly to combine and dissolve the sugar.
  2. Add the ice cubes to the blender. Secure the lid tightly and begin blending on a high setting, watching as the mixture transforms from slushy to smooth and icy.
  3. Continue blending until the mixture is thick, frosty, and achieves a granular, snow-like texture. This should take about 30-60 seconds, and the sound will be a consistent whir with the ice crushing smoothly.
  4. Stop the blender and check the consistency; it should be icy and slushie-like. If it's too thick, you can add a splash more water and blend briefly again.
  5. Pour the vibrant Kool Aid slushie into glasses, allowing some of the icy particles to spill over for a colorful presentation.
  6. Serve immediately with fun straws or garnishes like fruit slices to enhance the visual appeal and preserve the icy texture.

Notes

For an adult twist, add a splash of alcohol such as rum or vodka before blending.
