A colorful and refreshing frozen treat combining tangy lemonade with vibrant Kool-Aid layers, perfect for summer gatherings and quick snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (960 ml) prepared lemonade, chilled (preferably Country Time lemonade concentrate reconstituted with water)
  • 5 packets Kool-Aid, assorted flavors (e.g., cherry, orange, grape, lemon-lime, blue raspberry)
  • 10 cups (2.4 liters) cold water, divided (used to mix with Kool-Aid)
  • 2–4 tablespoons (30–60 g) sugar (optional, depending on preference and lemonade sweetness)
  • Wooden popsicle sticks or reusable popsicle molds, enough for 10 popsicles

Instructions

  1. Chill 4 cups (960 ml) of lemonade in the refrigerator. If using concentrate, mix according to package instructions and refrigerate until cold (about 30 minutes).
  2. In 5 separate bowls, combine 2 cups (480 ml) cold water with one Kool-Aid packet each. Stir well until fully dissolved. If desired, add 1 tablespoon (15 g) sugar to each for extra sweetness. Set aside.
  3. Pour about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of chilled lemonade into each popsicle mold or paper cup. Freeze for 20-30 minutes until slightly firm but not completely solid.
  4. Pour 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the first Kool-Aid flavor over the lemonade layer. Freeze again for 30 minutes until firm.
  5. Alternate between lemonade and different Kool-Aid flavors in 2-tablespoon increments, freezing each layer for 20-30 minutes before adding the next to create distinct stripes.
  6. When adding the third or fourth layer, insert wooden sticks into the center of each popsicle if not already done.
  7. After the last layer, freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully firm.
  8. To unmold, run warm water briefly on the outside of molds or cups. Pull out carefully and enjoy.

Notes

Freeze each layer for 20-30 minutes to prevent colors from mixing. Chill liquids before layering to reduce bleeding. Insert sticks when popsicles are partially frozen to keep them upright. Paper cups can be used in a pinch but poke holes if sticks don’t fit snugly.
