This Kool-Aid slushie recipe is a blast from the past for me! I absolutely loved Kool-Aid as a child, so of course I had to use it to make slushies! The best part is that you can make multiple flavors and then combine them into one delicious slushie. They are a great drink option on hot summer days or whenever you feel like a slushie! If you’re looking for Kool-Aid recipes, slushie recipes, summer drinks for kids, or a fun drink for kids, this is the perfect recipe to make!

And if you’re looking for more fun drinks for kids try this shark ice cream float, this frog pond punch, or this copycat Sonic ocean water! They are all super fun drinks that kids can help make and the whole family can enjoy!
