Notes

Source Scaling

The cookbook prints two smaller versions alongside the full party batch.
  • 1/3 recipe: 2 pkg. Kool-Aid; 4 qt. water; 2 c. sugar; 10 oz. orange juice; 6 oz. lemonade; 15 oz. pineapple juice; ginger ale; ice.
  • 1/4 recipe: 2 pkg. Kool-Aid; 3 qt. water; 1 1/3 c. sugar; 7 1/2 oz. orange juice; 4 1/2 oz. lemonade; 12 oz. pineapple juice; ginger ale; ice.
The source does not specify a bottle size for the ginger ale or a serving yield, so those details are left unresolved rather than invented.
