RE: Homemade Substitute for Gatorade Post By robin r (Guest Post) (11/11/2007) I will give them all a try, as they vary quite a bit. As long as the family likes it, it's worth a try.

What would you suggest if there is only water, sugar, fruit juice, salt available? I will try the pharmacy and see if they have powdered or whatever potassium chloride so possibly I can have that but what if not yet I need the electrolytes. Thanks.

Cool and serve. We make this and pour into old Gatorade bottles. It's quite good!

Even the name brand is much less expensive than purchasing it in bottles. My husband even likes it less than full "strength" so it's even cheaper to make.

This is the result of much trial and error. The envelopes with non Kool-Aid drink mixes (like Wylers) are usually more like Gatorade. Kool-Aid seems to have its own distinct flavor. I often double the recipe to make a gallon jug. Fructose and citric acid might require going to a good health food store or brewing supply co. but yield a product more like the original. It is very good with the substitutions mentioned if you like the lemon flavor. 1 (1/4 ounce) envelope unsweetened flavored drink mix (enough for 2 quarts) 1/2 teaspoon table salt (sodium chloride) 1/4 teaspoon salt substitute (potassium chloride; eg. Morton Salt Substitute) 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup granular fructose (can substitute 1/4 cup plus 2 tbs. corn syrup) 1/2 teaspoon citric acid (can substitute 2 tbs. lemon juice) water, to make 2 quarts 8 servings Change size or US/metric Change to: servings US Metric 3 minutes 3 mins prep Place all ingredients in a large pitcher or jug and stir or shake until well mixed. Chill and keep refrigerated until used. Note: Adjust sweetness to taste by adding (or in rare cases reducing) a little sugar since drink mixes can vary.
