I started regularly drinking Kool-Aid for the first time since grade school.

Although I feel incredibly judged while buying Kool-Aid packets at Kroger, my intentions are rather responsible.

I buy Kool-Aid for two reasons:

1. Staying hydrated in this Texas heat, and,
2. Avoiding the awful ingredients and calories in many cocktail mixers.

So I recently started throwing Kool-Aid in my ice sphere molds. (I bought mine at World Market in Oak Lawn, but they are the same price on Amazon.)

During the day, I pop the colored ice spheres into club soda or mineral water. The ice spheres release a light color and flavor which is identical to many of the expensive flavored waters at the store.

In the evenings and weekends, the colored ice spheres can be used as a calorie-free way of spicing up a vodka-soda or mimosa.
