Prepare the Base Mixture
Begin by taking a large pitcher and mixing together the Kool-Aid powder with 3/4 cup of sugar in 1 quart of water. Stir this mixture thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a sweet and vibrant base for your Tropical Cooler. -
Blend the Bananas
In a blender, add the ripe bananas along with 1/4 cup of sugar. Blend until the bananas are fully mashed and smooth. This step not only incorporates sweetness but also adds a rich, fruity texture that enhances the overall flavor profile of the beverage. -
Combine the Mixtures
Pour the mashed banana mixture into the pitcher containing the Kool-Aid mixture. Follow this by adding the frozen limeade concentrate. Use a whisk or a hand mixer to whip everything together until it becomes frothy, ensuring that all ingredients are well combined and the flavors meld beautifully. -
Finish with Ginger Ale
Gently fold in the ginger ale, being careful to preserve its carbonation. This bubbly element adds a delightful effervescence to the Tropical Cooler, making it a refreshing drink that everyone will love. -
