I don’t know about you but I am so done with the winter we had here. It was absolutely frigid but that is now a thing of the past. With the temperatures increasing and Spring/Summer upon us, we can get ready to have some outdoor fun again. I live in Rhode Island (yes the smallest state in the country) but also one that has an incredible amount of outside fun for teenagers and adults to enjoy. While I love my kids, I tend to send them to camps, so my husband and I, along with our friends, can have some adult time. There is nothing like doing some outdoor activities or visiting some fun places with my friends and husband, to really enjoy our beautiful state. Whether it is an outdoor picnic, a hiking trail, or just a friendly game of tennis, we make sure we are having fun but also staying hydrated. We can reach 100 degrees F here and we need some great drinks to quench our throats. For this, I turn to the all new and totally awesome Ready-To-Drink 96oz Kool-Aid bottles, which are fantastic to take on the go!
This year, I plan to pack a cooler with the 96 oz. Kool-Aid bottles and some snacks so my husband and I can do some our favorite activities in Rhode Island. One of our favorite things to do is to participate in an outdoor picnic in Newport. There is nothing like walking along the Cliff Walk and then stopping for a picnic lunch complete with Kool-Aid fruit drinks. The new bottles are HUGE and easily portable, so it allows us to drink throughout the day, without ever fearing that we will run out! The 96oz container is a very large and convenient way to purchase this beloved beverage and allows us to stay active, without having to run out mid-picnic to get a drink.
Two of my all time favorite Spring/Summer activities to partake in, when I know the Kool-Aid bottles will come in so useful, is the annual airshow at Quonset Point, which my husband and I generally go to each year. There is something really special about seeing the Blue Angels flying high above. Although it is so much fun, it is also incredible hot. By taking the Kool-Aid Mega 96 oz bottles, I know we will be covered. It is going to be so refreshing to #KoolOff with this delicious drink.
Another activity we love to do is some hiking along some of the beautiful Rhode Island landmarks. We always take a huge backpack and make sure to pack in some Kool-Aid. I can’t wait to start hiking again- only a few more weeks and the temperatures will be perfect.
While we plan to take the Ready-To-Drink 96oz Kool-Aid bottles, I knew the first thing I needed to do was stock up on them. I headed to my local Walmart and readily found them in the Kool-Aid stand along display near the food aisles. They had the 96 oz bottles in all the delicious flavors, as well as some other fun Kool-Aid products such as squeezers. When I was looking at the display, I thought to myself that I could use this huge Kool-Aid bottle and make a delicious Kool-Aid Colorful Punch, that my sister in law has made for the past few Christmas holidays. Since we were having some friends over for a barbecue, I thought why not make them this punch as a great option for them to drink. I picked up all my necessary ingredients and then headed home.
When the day of the barbecue arrived, I made my easy, but totally DELICIOUS, Kool-Aid Colorful Fruit Punch. This takes no more than a few minutes to make and will have your guests wondering your special secrets to make it so yummy.
Kool-Aid Colorful Fruit Punch
Ingredients:
-96 oz. cherry flavored Kool-Aid bottle (feel free to use any flavor you like)
-1 bottle of sprite
-1 container of sherbet
-1 jar of cherries
Directions:
1. In a large punch bowl, add the Kool-Aid and sprite. Stir the mixture together.
2. Add in sherbet and stir another minute or two. It takes about 10 minutes for the sherbet to thaw in the punch. I usually wait until it semi-thawed to serve.
3. Pour into glasses and add cherries for fun garnishing. Enjoy!
This is a great version of Kool-Aid punch that is sure to please all the teenagers and adults, that are coming over for that special barbecue or outdoor fun this Spring/Summer. This is just something a little extra special to jazz up your Kool-Aid but in all honesty, just purchasing the 96 oz. Kool-Aid bottles at Walmart, will be a convenient, fun, and easy way to get in a great beverage for your summer outings. Let me know how you like it?!

I love making fruit punch like this. It tastes so good I use it for parties too.
I really liked Kool-Aid when I was a kid! I can’t believe how many colors and floavors they have.
What a fun punch! My kids really like Kool-Aid.
Yum! KoolAid with sherbert and Sprite sounds good! I dont think I have tried the premade KoolAid I normally buy the envelopes . It would come in handy though when going somewhere.
oh man, my kids would freak over those colorful koolaid drinks! Koolaid is their favorite drink! And It has a special place in my heart too; cause I grew up on Koolaid too! lol.
That is such an awesome price, I would buy this just for the feeling of nostalgia, I don’t think I’ve had Kool-Aid since i was a kid!!
Why is it that everything looks more refreshing when put in mason jars?
I loved how you turned already yummy Kool Aid into an even better drink! I have to try it myself!
Looks like a tasty drink for sure!! I haven’t had Kool Aid in years!
We love Kool-Aid and the convenient bottles will be perfect for road trips and picnics. My son can’t get enough Kool-Aid. It’s really funny.
That punch looks so delicious. I love how you added the Sprite in to make it fuzzy. There is just something about bubbly drinks that I just love
My 11 year old recently discovered Kool Aid on a trip to his grandparents on Spring Break and he is hooked
We will have to head over to Walmart and pick some up!
We love KoolAid! It’s great for picnics and for making punches!
I love going hiking. That waterfall is just gorgeous.
We love Koolaid in our house and I had no idea they had ready to drink bottles. I’ll pay for convenience from time to time!
This punch looks so refreshing. perfect for warm spring days.
Your hike looks fantastic.
Oh yummy! What a tasty drink idea! Looks perfect, especially for warmer days!
I have never tried this, but it looks delicious!
My kids love punch and this is a great recipe for the upcoming summer months!
What a fun drink and my kids will love it. A way to shake up ta little in the summer. Thanks!
Kool-Aid, a brand we all grew up with. Now it isn’t necessary to mix it up in a pitcher and find a suitable container. We can just grab a bottle and go. It’s Kool-Aid keeping up with the times.
My kids would go crazy for this punch! Looks absolutely delicious!
What a fun post. I loved KoolAid as a kid.
Now I really miss Summers in New England- But I’ll make your delicious punch recipe to hold me over until I can make it back again! #Client
That punch looks refreshing for right about now. It has been sweltering here in Texas!!
I love a good Kool Aid fruit punch! I also love that you used Sprite Zero… helps counteract the calories in the sherbet
i love the punch idea. plus, it’s got rainbow sherbet. how can you not love that?
We grew up on Kool-aid for family gatherings in our house and I am just the same, I am never without a few packets on hand. Our family played cards a lot growing up (with all the family, cousins, uncles, aunts) and we always had Kool-aid punch on hand. Mixed with red kool-aid, orange juice and seltzer water or sprite. Yum!
OH gosh, that looks so delicious! The air show sounds like a wonderful event to attend also.
That looks like a nice fun drink! I grew up on Kool-aid too!
What a fun and delicious looking punch for adults and kids! #client
Wow- great price for such a large container of KOOL-AID! My kids love Kool-Aid and this will be a great option for us this summer. I love the punch recipe too! Thanks!
I am so glad you shared this, it sounds so good and something my grandchildren would love too
These look yummy!!! Perfect summertime drink! #client
This is making my mouth water!
