Instructions

Prepare Pickle Juice: Pour the pickle juice from the jar into a large mixing bowl, removing the pickles from the jar and setting them aside.
Mix Marinade: Stir the Kool-Aid powder and sugar into the pickle juice until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating the sweet and tangy marinade.
Combine Pickles and Marinade: Place the pickles back into the original jar or a new airtight container, then pour the Kool-Aid mixture over the pickles making sure they are fully submerged.
Marinate: Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 5 to 7 days. Shake the jar once a day to ensure the flavors distribute evenly.

Use your favorite Kool-Aid flavor to customize the taste.
Make sure pickles are fully submerged to prevent spoilage.
Shake the jar daily to enhance flavor infusion.
This recipe requires a long marinating time for best results.
