Not only do we love this quick kool-aid lime slushie recipe a green St. Patrick’s Day drink for kids, we love it for those hot summer days, the kids love to use this for their lemonade stands and birthday parties.

I feel like Kool-Aid is just part of childhood, right? I remember always having it in the house when I was a kid and I remember those awesome Kool-Aid commercials.

Back then, it was totally common for kids to run around with Kool-Aid mustaches – I guess you could say I grew up on Kool-Aid!

I don’t think it’s nearly as popular now as it was then – my kids have enjoyed it from time to time – but when I was a kid, we always had Kool-Aid on hand.

In fact, I was watching The Kid’s Are Alright on ABC the other night and I was cracking up that they had a big jug of Kool-Aid right in the middle of their dining room table for the family dinner. If you haven’t seen the show, it is a show about a family in the 70’s, and it’s spot on.

That’s really how it used to be, Kool-Aid was almost a staple back then!
