Orange Crush Cocktail

I remember loving Orange Crush soda as a kid. The carbonated beverage was one of my favorites growing up. This Orange Crust Cocktail gives you that same great orange, carbonated drink, but in an adults-only variety. You will feel like a kid when you make it with Kool-aid powder, but it is an alcoholic beverage for adults.

How to Make Orange Crush Cocktail

Orange Crush Cocktail Ingredients

With just four ingredients, this cocktail is as easy to make as Kool-aid!

Ice: I prefer crushed ice, but use whatever ice you have on hand.

Vodka: Choose the brand of vodka you prefer for this drink. Or your favorite liquor!

Kool-aid: You will need just 1/2 a teaspoon of unsweetened orange kool-aid powder.

Sprite: The lemon-lime soda gives the beverage the carbonation to remind you of Orange Crush soda. Choose your favorite brand of lemon-lime soda.
