Recipe: Blue Punch Recipe

BLUE PUNCH

1 (1/4 ounce) package unsweetened Kool-Aid powdered drink mix, powder (amount in package varies on the type used, could be anywhere between .15 to .25 ounce)
3/4 sugar
water, according to Koolaid directions
1 (10 ounce) can frozen Pina Colada mix, thawed
2 liters 7-up or Sprite (to taste)
1 pint vanilla ice cream

Mix together the Koolaid, water, and sugar according to the package directions. In a punchbowl, combine the prepared Koolaid, thawed Pina Colada mix, and 7-Up or Sprite. Add scoops of vanilla ice cream. Serve and enjoy!

Note #1: the Koolaid company changes it's flavors and colors all the time, so you'll need to investigate what is available when you're making your punch; past flavors/color combinations that worked were Berry Blue and Raspberry Reaction.

Note #2: if you make up some ahead of time, you can also freeze a ring of prepared Koolaid and put it in the punch bowl, or make ice cubes with it and add them into the punch.

Note #3: folks have asked me what the Pina Colada mix is for, so I thought I should add it to the recipe. :) It's to make the punch a pastel color, rather than bright blue. It's up to you whether or not you use it, but I think it's tasty!
