Kool Aid Vodka Snowcone 🍧
Sweet, boozy, and loaded with color—this drink is a party in a glass! It’s like a grown-up snowcone, with a vibrant punch of flavor and that extra kick from the vodka. Ready to make one? Here’s how!
Ingredients:
Vodka (choose your favorite brand, preferably one with a neutral flavor)
Triple sec (adds a citrusy sweetness and depth)
Lemon-lime soda (for that refreshing, fizzy base)
Ice (crushed ice works best for a snowcone vibe!)
Kool-Aid powder (this is where the magic happens—pick your favorite flavor for color and taste! Cherry, tropical punch, or blue raspberry are perfect choices)
How to Make It:
1. Prepare Your Glass:
Start by filling a tall glass with crushed ice. You want that snowcone effect, so go for a mountain of ice rather than just a few cubes.
2. Mix the Base:
In a shaker or mixing cup, add about 1.5 oz of vodka. If you want it stronger, you can adjust this a bit, but 1.5 oz is a good starting point.
Add 0.5 oz of triple sec for that sweet citrus note.
Pour in 3-4 oz of lemon-lime soda to give the drink that crisp, fizzy lift. You can adjust to taste depending on how strong or light you want the drink.
3. Add Kool-Aid Flavor:
Sprinkle 1-2 tbsp of Kool-Aid powder into your mix (you can adjust based on how bold you want the flavor and color). This is where the vibrant color and the fruity punch come into play!
Stir it well, ensuring the Kool-Aid powder dissolves fully. If you like your drink a little more tangy or sweet, you can add more powder to taste.
4. Combine:
Pour the vodka, triple sec, soda, and Kool-Aid mix over the crushed ice in your glass. Give it a gentle swirl to combine everything.
5. Garnish (Optional, but fun!):
If you want to go all out, garnish with a slice of lemon or lime on the rim, or even a fun cocktail umbrella for that extra party vibe. You can also add a cherry or a small splash of the soda on top for a fizzy, bubbly effect.
Serve & Enjoy!
This sweet, colorful drink is a perfect refresher for any occasion. It’s super fun for pool parties, BBQs, or just a chill night with friends. Plus, it’s customizable depending on your Kool-Aid flavor preference and how strong you want your drink!
Pro Tips:
Flavor combos: Mix and match different Kool-Aid flavors to create your own signature drink. Tropical Punch + Blue Raspberry = an awesome color combo!
Crushed ice: To get that authentic snowcone feel, crushed ice is key. You can make it easily with a blender or buy pre-crushed ice.
Frozen Ice Cubes: Want an extra cool touch? Freeze Kool-Aid in ice cube trays to use in your drink for even more flavor and color!
This Kool-Aid Vodka Snowcone is the ultimate fun drink—super bright, fruity, and just a little bit dangerous with that vodka kick. Let me know which flavor combo you decide to go with!
