Description
This Kool-Aid Slurpee is a quick, colorful frozen drink made with sweetened Kool-Aid and plenty of ice. It blends up thick, smooth, and refreshingly slushy in just five minutes.
Ingredients
½ cup hot water
1 cup granulated sugar
1½ cups cold water
2 packets Kool-Aid, any 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 prepared sugar water into a blender.
- Add the cold water and Kool-Aid powder to the blender.
- Add the ice cubes and secure the blender lid firmly.
- Blend until the ice is completely crushed and the mixture is smooth, thick, and slushy.
- Divide between four glasses and serve immediately with straws.
Notes
Use any favorite Kool-Aid flavor, such as cherry, grape, tropical punch, or blue raspberry-style flavors.
Try combining two compatible Kool-Aid flavors to create a custom flavor.
Reduce the granulated sugar to taste for a less-sweet drink, keeping in mind that unsweetened Kool-Aid powder is tart.
For a thicker Slurpee, blend in a little additional ice. For a thinner consistency, add a small splash of cold water.
Serve immediately for the best frozen texture.
Freeze leftovers in a freezer-safe container, then allow them to soften briefly and re-blend with a splash of cold water as needed.
