Sports Electrolyte Drink Mixer
DIY isotonic sports drink scaled to your bottle — sodium, sugar and juice ratios from sports-science targets.
Commercial sports drinks are ~6% sugar with 400–500 mg sodium per litre — sugar, salt, water and flavour, at a 10× markup. The 6% ceiling is deliberate: stronger solutions empty from the stomach slower (why cola mid-run sloshes). Under an hour of easy exercise needs only water; the recipe earns its keep in long, sweaty sessions.
