How to Make Kool Aid Slushes

Though cool and refreshing on its own, the additional of crushed ice makes your favorite Kool-Aid flavor a luscious drink for a hot summer day. The flavor of the Kool-Aid blends with the ice and stays cold longer since the majority of the beverage is frozen. Use your favorite Kool-Aid flavor or try one of the low-sugar mixtures. You can also substitute artificial sweetener for the sugar in Kool-Aid, if you prefer. Does this Spark an idea?
