it ends up as a bitter, nasty concoction.\u00a0 I was afraid that Black Cherry Mountain Dew would be the similar, with too much &#8216;flavor&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>But, thankfully, the ultra-sugary Mountain Dew works really well with Kool-Aid.\u00a0 The black cherry flavor overwhelms the Mountain Dew a little bit, but it is very drinkable and tasty.\u00a0 Its about on par with the Mountain Dew flavors (e.g. Supernova, High Voltage) released last summer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-66\" title=\"koolaid-good\" src=\"\/\/www.redrecondite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/koolaid-good.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"294\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redrecondite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/koolaid-good.png 294w, https:\/\/www.redrecondite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/koolaid-good-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 294px) 100vw, 294px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Left-to-Right: Mountain Dew (2 Liter), Black Cherry Mountain Dew (2 Liter), Black Cherry Mountain Dew (Glass), Black Cherry Kool-Aid Ingredients 1 Mountain Dew 2-Liter 1 Kool-Aid packet (Black Cherry) Preperation I shoved a funnel down the just-opened Mountain Dew bottle&#8217;s throat, and gently sprinkled some Black Cherry Kool-Aid.\u00a0 It was interesting;
