I love Gatorade. At many gas stations here, you can buy two "large" bottles for $3.00 (or sometimes $3.33) or so.
A bottle of Gatorade is perfect four a four mile hike. Or general hydration if you're cycling or drinking wine.
But what it if I don't feel like driving to my local gas station? Or am just heading to work?
Simple! Fill a Gatorade container up with water and add a bit of maple syrup and lime juice.
It tastes like Gatorade and provides the same amount of hydration.
What do you take with you when you go hiking?

When I am hiking, plain water that is cold is the best for me.

@TheHorse Gatorade is common for bikers here. They say that they need that for hydration since they expend so much energy and sweat.

@Alexandoy I wonder if the extra ingredients in Gatorade really matter. I do sometimes take a dash of salt before I hike or cycle.

I don't go hiking. However, if you like the concoction, right? Sometimes, I use maple syrup in the iced coffee. But, I like lemon in plain water as opposed to lime.

@TheHorse Many years ago, I bought a small bag of fresh lime. I wanted to have fruit infused water in a water bottle with the lime. But, I just did not like.

Sounds like you've got a winner right there! Doubt hubby would drink it though. He is a fan of Propel water. Spoiled rotten brat.

@TheHorse made by the Gatorade company. It has electrolytes in it too. Sugar-free too.

Gatorade did not even exist when I could hike. We used water.

@TheHorse But the money you have to pay is on the extras.

@marguicha A touch of sugar and lime = Gatorade. Almost.

Your concoction needs a pinch of salt.

Water. Water. Water. It's just about all I drink. Pure water: no sweeteners, no artificial additives, no ingredients. Just pure water. To me, it's the best tasting drink of all. It's the best hydrator of all. I don't understand why people can't drink water without sweetening it up or flavoring it. Why does everything have to be sweet? Or flavored? It's confusing to me.I love water and drink about a gallon of it a day.

I have never had Gatorade and perhaps you should patent your new drink. Perhaps something clever like Hiking Power. I have never gone hiking,
