Kool-Aid Slushies

I remember going to the gas station to get ice slushies in the summer, then immediately getting a brain freeze because I drank it too fast! I loved the sweetness and especially the bright colors. Now, you can make these at home with just a few ingredients.

It’s a copycat Sonic Slushies for a fraction of the cost.

Pick your favorite flavors and make multiple versions. Have multiple flavors on hand because the kids will want to try all the different flavors. The Kool-aid drink mix is inexpensive so this fun summer treat doesn’t break the bank!

Ingredients

white counter with ingredients: three Kool-Aid packets, blue, purple and red, bowl of sugar, blender with ice, mason jar with water
  • 2 cups cold water
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 4 cups ice cubes
  • 1 Kool-Aid packet – for the Kool-Aid mix – find the small packets in the drink aisle of the grocery store.

Instructions

four photos: ice in blender; blue Kool-Aid packet on top of blender; Kool-Aid in mixer with water and ice - water is blue; blue slushie in blender
  • Pour the water, ice, sugar, and Kool-Aid into a blender. 
  • Blend until just smooth and the ice reaches a slushie consistency.
  • Serve in individual glasses and serve.

Special Tools

You’ll want a high speed blender. A good blender makes this recipe easier as it will really crush the ice to the slushie consistency. We use a Blentec blender for all of our blending. Others have had success with a Ninja blender.

Alternatives

  • Club soda – add some club soda to make it fizzy
  • Flavors – we used blue raspberry lemonade, cherry, and orange flavors, but the sky is the limit.
