Notes

Slime Punch Color
The color of this Slime Punch is naturally green. You can ditch the food coloring if you prefer. However, the addition of food coloring will make it extra vibrant and give it a little wow factor that’s perfect for a party.
Start off slowly when adding food coloring as a little goes a long way. You can always add more, but you can’t take it away.
For a vegan option
there are a number of gelatin-free jello brands on the market although you may need to look online to find them. 
Sugar free option
Feel free to use a sugar free jello, however the flavor will not be the same. 
Slime drink consistency 
If necessary, thin out the drink after it's has been chilled with more soda, water or lemonade. I usually add a bit more soda after it has chilled. 
If your mixture doesn’t set, odds are the Jello didn’t dissolve completely, use boiling water and stir until totally smooth. Also, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let it thicken into slime-like consistency.
