Orange Crush Cocktail is an adult beverage made with vodka, orange Kool-aid powder, and Sprite for a refreshing orange-flavored drink. Try my Paloma for another refreshing summertime cocktail.
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.
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.
