: I had a request from a customer to make a jelly using a particular soft drink and the only thing i can think of is taking the liquid and adding pectin to it so that it thickens like a jell? Does anyone have experience doing this?

Here is a recipe I just found for jelly using jello. Perhaps you could substitute the drink mix for the jello.
Jell-O Jelly
Amazing fruit-flavored jelly to use as a spread on bread or crackers!
4 cups (1 3/4 lbs.) sugar
3 cups water
1 box Sure-Jell fruit pectin
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 package Jell-O (any red flavor)

Measure sugar and set aside. Measure water into a large saucepan, add Sure-Jell and soda, and mix well. Place over high heat and stir until mixture comes to a hard boil. Boil hard 1 minute. At once stir
in sugar, then Jell-O. Return to a full rolling boil and boil hard
1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim off foam with
metal spoon. Pour quickly into glasses. Cover jelly at once with 1/8 inch hot paraffin. Makes 7 medium glasses jelly.
