Do you remember drinking fruit Kool-Aid when you were a kid? Now you enjoy the same sugar-packed juice in a boozy cocktail thanks to food blogger She Knows. The Kool-Aid flavor is infused into fun, technicolor ice cubes to create a tantalizing vodka cocktail.
To make these adult Kool-Aid drinks, begin by mixing a variety of the fruity powdered drink pouches with water. Fill an ice cube tray up with the various juices and allow the cubes to solidify. Then mix up a shot of vodka with a citrus-flavored soda like lemon lime and pop the chromatic Kool-Aid ice cubes into the glass. The bright colors will look super cool floating in the carbonated cocktail drink and they'll add a yummy fruit flavor to the overall beverage as they melt away.
