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.
Pineapple juice is made from pressing the natural liquid out from the pulp of the pine apple, combined with kool aid and sugar provides the most freshen taste you can ever have.
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!
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!
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.
Thank you so much AnJuan!!
