Five Flavors of Skittles Taste the Rainbow Lemonade

March is in full swing and you know what that means; it’s basketball tournament season!   Are you a huge basketball fan?  Then this is your month!  I’ve been gearing up for March with some fun and fabulous treats using Skittles.   Just remember, it’s only madness if you don’t have Skittles during the game!

Skittles Treats for March Basketball Tournaments

I went to Sam’s Club this weekend to help me stock up on everything I would need to watch some of the games.   We got cream cheese to make dips, lemonade to make a fun Taste the Rainbow Lemonade, and the 54 oz. bag of Skittles.  The Skittles were easy to find as they were on a pallet at the end of the candy aisle at Sam’s Club.  I grabbed a bag because I had some fun ideas for using this sweet treat.

When I got home I started cooking.   I wanted something fun that both adults and kids could enjoy while watching the game.   I also wanted something to eat and something to drink so I got started right away.  I mean, who can watch a sporting event without a treat?  Not me!

Easy to make and fun Skittles Basketball Cookies

I had the great idea to make super cute basketball shaped cookies.  I made my favorite sugar cookie dough recipe, rolled the dough out, and cut it into circles.   Once the cookies were cooled I spread on some frosting and topped them with orange Skittles.   I loved the way they made the basketball cookies look.   Then I piped on black frosting laces to really make them look like basketballs.

Skittles Lemonade is a fun way to make colorful lemonade for the whole family

Then I got started on my drink.   The Taste the Rainbow lemonade was so easy to make and it actually went far quicker then I thought it would.   I opened up 5 bottles of lemonade and poured a handful, about 1/4 cup, of one color of Skittles into each bottle.  Do this carefully as the Skittles made the lemonade foam up.  I let the bottles sit for 15 minutes and they changed color as the Skittles dissolved.   I tasted each one and the flavor tasted just like Skittles!

Making the lemonade was fun and it’s something a child could help with in the kitchen.   I set out glasses with fun paper straws and ice beside the bottles so people could help themselves to whatever flavor of lemonade they would enjoy.

Now that we had a treat and a beverage we were ready for the Basketball Tournament.   Of course we could have our very own Skittles Tourney between the basketball cookies and the Taste the Rainbow lemonade!  Either way I was ready to settle in for some series basketball.   If only my basketball loving dad had been down to watch a game or two it would have been the perfect weekend.
