Cherry Slushie – A Festive Red Mocktail

festive ho ho holiday mocktail

Make this quick and easy holiday cherry slush mocktail, when you want a fun and festive red drink that can be enjoyed by kids and adults. 

It is the perfect shade of red for holiday cheer and, yes, it is sweet without added sugar. 

The pretty red color and tasty cherry flavor come from calorie-free Kool-Aid Liquid Drink Mix concentrate, which is sweetened with sucralose instead of sugar. 

I remember adding so much white sugar to make Kool-aid, when I was a kid. 

It’s great that the fun flavors are now available in a concentrated liquid that is sugar free. 

The cherry is the perfect shade of holiday red.

The holiday mocktail is garnished with maraschino cherries on a cocktail pick or lollipop stick, which makes it extra pretty. 

It only takes a moment to add the garnish, but is that special touch that makes the beverage festive. 

The drink is great for kids, but I know plenty of adults that like it, too. 

This cherry slush can be a fun part of your holiday celebrations at home!
