    These Kool Aid slushies are like a blast from the past and a sip of nostalgia in every cup. Made with just 4 simple ingredients. You, too can have a glorious fruity drink made in just minutes. These drinks are perfect for summer and perfect for kids of all ages.

    Recipe: $0.48 | Per Serving: $0.24 | Servings: 2

    Glass of blue Kool-Aid slushie with cherry, more drinks in background.

    Nothing says summer or childhood like a Slurpee, Icee, or other similar beverage from your local convenience store, right? They're about as summery as a tall glass of Old Fashioned Lemonade.

    These Kool-Aid Icee drinks taste so much like the ones you craved all summer, but with the bonus of being made in your kitchen. And with any luck, your blender won't be down for maintenance.

    Using your favorite Kool-Aid packet you can create a flavorful drink that your kids will rave about to their friends. Mine have been exploring new and exciting Kool-Aid flavors and trying to see which one is their favorite to serve up in this icy fashion.

    Considering how we don't buy Kool-Aid packets very often, they really think they're being treated to something special, especially when I serve these slushies with a slice of No Bake Kool Aid Pie on the side.

    🍯 Why This Recipe Works

    1. You can make them in any flavor! Use your favorite packet of Kool Aid and you're good to go! Lemonade, blue raspberry, watermelon, cherry, grape, and more!
    2. It's easy. All this recipe takes is just a few basic ingredients and moments in the blender. A little less effort than our Frozen Whipped Zombie Brains and Fruity Pebbles Milkshakes.
    3. They're cheap to make. Made with very simple ingredients, this recipe can make a few glasses full for just pennies each! Serve this up as an unforgettable drink for the fourth of July (paired with our Easy Patriotic Fireworks Bundt Cake) or enjoy them all summer long as a refreshing way to cool off.

    🥘 Ingredients

    Ingredient Notes:

    Kool-aid- Use your favorite flavor packet for these homemade kool aid slushies. We like the blue raspberry.

    Sugar- If you've ever tried kool aid without sugar then you know how badly we need to get some sweetness into this recipe. You can adjust the sweetness to your own tastes, though.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    🔪 Instructions for Kool Aid Slushies

    Step 1: Add the sugar and water to the blender.

    Step 2: Add in all of the ice.

    Step 3: Sprinkle your Kool Aid packet over the top of the ice.

    Step 4: Close the lid and then blend on high until the ice is small and fine (like snow).

    Step 5: Pour into drinking glasses and serve with a straw.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    1. Adjusting Liquid Amount- If you want your Kool-Aid slushies to be thicker, try using less water at first. You can start by cutting the water in half and see how you like it. Just remember, as the ice melts, the drink will get thinner.
    2. Balancing Texture and Taste- You can add more ice or water to adjust the texture. But be careful not to add too much, or the flavor might get weaker. Stick to a total of 8 cups of liquid and ice together to keep the taste just right.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

  • How to make a slushie without a blender
  • If you don't have a blender you can use a food processor to blend up ice in small batches until fine and then pour them into a bowl. Once you have several cups of ice in that bowl, you can stir in the other ingredients until well mixed and pour it into glasses for drinking. Enjoy.

    Can I make this slushie fizzy or carbonated?

    Yes! One of the best things about slurpees is the carbonation, so go ahead and swap out some (if not all) of the requested water for Club Soda to give your drink a little fizzy goodness in every sip.

    Can I use a sugar free sweetener?

    Absolutely! Feel free to swap out the granulated sugar for a sugar free sweetener of choice. This will make the drink way more friendly for those trying to limit their daily sugar intake.

    Equipment

    • Drinking Glasses
    • Straws
    • Measuring Cups
    • Blender

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup granulated sugar ($0.18)
    • 2 cups water ($0.00)
    • 4 cups ice cubes ($0.00)
    • 1 Kool-Aid packet (any flavor) ($0.30)
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Add your sugar and water into the blender.
    • Add in all of your ice.
    • Sprinkle the Kool Aid packet over the top of the ice.
    • Close the lid and blend on high until the ice is small and fine (like snow).
    • Pour into drinking glasses and serve with a straw.

    Notes

    • To conserve water in the kool aid slushies recipe, halve the amount initially and adjust to taste. Reducing liquid yields a thicker drink, but it will naturally thin out due to ice content. Adding excess ice or water risks diluting the flavor; limit additions to 8 cups. Without a blender, blend ice in batches with a food processor, then combine with other ingredients in a bowl. Mix well and pour into glasses. Enjoy!
