My Country Time Pink Lemonade dry drink mix seems to have become a casualty of the moist climate. It's damp and a little sticky.
Wondering if anyone knows a trick for drying the stuff out, or am I better off just getting a new tub of the stuff and then storing it in a more airtight container in the future, like a Mason Jar?

Have you tried hydrating it and gotten bad results? My thought is that though it might be a bit heavier than normal, it should still mix up just fine.
Just a thought though. I wouldn't count on it without a trial run w/ pitcher + H20.

You practially need a chisel to get the stuff out. It does dissolve and tastes okay, but it's making me mad, and if I can't dry it out, I'm pitching it and starting over.

Guess the chisel might preclude it from being packed in by a lightweight backpacker.
Yep. I'd get some new stuff. Or be like me and go for the individual packets of Crystal Light.

you store your Mason Jars in airtight containers?

You know those silica gel things that come in packets of dried fruit and pill bottles? Their job is to absorb excess moisture.
So..... Save a couple of them from packages of jerky, new shoes, ibuprofen bottles, you get the idea. Put your drink powder in a mason jar or something similar along with a couple of the silica gel things and wait a couple of days.
You can also try closing the drink powder up with a couple of crackers - works for clumpy salt.
