These best are served fresh but you can store the leftovers in the freezer for 2-3 days.

We used a Kool-aid mix but you can use any flavor of powdered drink mix that you prefer.

Recipe Tips

Slushie Consistency – If you want more of a liquid consistency, add in more water. If you want a thicker consistency slowly add in more ice.

Ice Cream – This slushie can be made with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate float.

Blender – For the best consistency, make sure to use a good blender.

We used a Kool-Aid mix but you can use any flavor of powdered drink mix that you prefer.

You can even add a candy toppings with Nerds or even Jolly Ranchers. Serve these slushies in a fun clear cup with fun straws for the best kid friendly drink.
