Description
Kool Aid Pickles are a sweet and tangy treat that combines the classic flavor of dill pickles with the playful sweetness of Kool-Aid.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (32 oz) jar of dill pickle spears or whole pickles
- 1 packet (0.13 oz) of Kool-Aid (cherry, tropical punch, or your favorite flavor)
- 1/2 to 1 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Drain the Pickles: Pour the pickle juice from the jar into a large mixing bowl. Remove the pickles and set them aside.
- Mix the Kool-Aid Brine: Add the Kool-Aid powder and sugar to the pickle juice. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Combine & Refrigerate: Place the pickles back into the jar (or a new airtight container). Pour the Kool-Aid mixture over the pickles, making sure they are fully submerged.
- Chill & Marinate: Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 5-7 days, shaking the jar once a day to distribute flavors.
- Serve & Enjoy: Once the pickles have absorbed the flavor, they’re ready to eat! Serve chilled for the best taste.

- Flavor Options: Cherry and tropical punch are the most popular, but try grape, watermelon, or blue raspberry for fun variations!
- Sweetness Level: Start with ½ cup sugar and add more if you like a sweeter pickle.
