    Happy Terrific Tuesday!!

    I absolutely love, especially on hot days, good refreshing beverages like mocktails and cocktails. I remember mixing apple juice and sprite as a little girl because I loved the fizz and bubble. I would always mix different drinks growing up from Tang to Kool-Aid. I even mix different Kool-Aid flavors!

    One of my cousins taught me the Perfect Kool-Aid mixture. Since I enjoyed the taste so much, I definitely had to learn how to make it just like her.

    So, today I am sharing the easy, flavored Perfect Kool-Aid recipe. Note that it can also be used for punches by adding any lemon-lime soda.


    The Cheapest Way to Quench your Thirst!

    We all agree that water is the best option to tame your thirst; but staying properly hydrated is more than just drinking water! It could be a cold glass of the Perfect Kool-Aid.

    Edwin Perkins invented Kool-Aid in 1927 in Hastings, Nebraska. He did all of his experiments in his mother’s kitchen. The predecessor of this American brand of flavored drink was a liquid concentrate called “Fruit Smack”. So, to reduce shipping cost and weight, Perkins removed the liquid to leave only the Kool-Aid Powder.

    Growing up, Kool-Aid was a summertime essential. It had all the sugar a kid could ever want and more! It is the cheapest drink that could satisfy your thirst.

    Kool-Aid is the perfect oral rehydration homemade solution that improves physiological parameters and shows a trend to increase athletes performance. Still not convinced?!


    Perfect Kool-Aid!

    It is Tuesday's prescription: A cool, sweet and inexpensive Kool-Aid drink.

    Cool Tips and Tricks

    • Kool-Aid was initially produced in six original flavors: Grape, Lemon-Lime, Cherry, Strawberry, Raspberry, and Orange.
    • Hastings still celebrates a yearly summer Festival called Kool-Aid days on the second weekend of August, in honor of their city’s claim to fame. Kool-Aid is also known as Nebraska’s official soft drink.
    • The colors in Kool-Aid will stain, and hence the substance can be used as a dye for either Hair or Wool. Absolutely perfect!
    • There is also a sugar-free Kool-Aid, which could be a great source of vitamin C. It comes with a variety of fun flavors such as: watermelon, kiwi-lime, and Lemonade.
    • In fact, kids’ play time just got cooler with awesome Kool-Aid crafts and ideas for kids. From playdough and edible slime, to abstract art and colorful eggs, the fruity fun will last for hours and hours!

      As a native Alabamian who spent many summers in the sweltering hot and humid home of my late grandmother, I can vouch for this post. On those hot days, there were few things better than a good refreshing cup of Kool-Aid. The key was that it had to be right…and that means the right amount of sugar and the right amount of Kool-Aid mix. It is absolutely an art form much like sweet tea.
