Ive been fond of sis's mixed berry superhydro for a while but they have changed it and I'm not so keen now, I tried some nuun the last few rides (strawberry lemonade) but found it a bit blah.
Whats everybody's favourite? Of to buy some more of something after work but not sure what to go for.

Claret!
no, water, only put flavoured things in first time after sterilising it.
On the zipfit box there's an asterix, can't see the 'small print' must round the back, what does it say?
Aqua
Pink Grapefruit from Torq.

Those Zipvit are tasty, mainly use Nuun myself, think the Zipvit has a small amount of calories in it, so avoid using it in the bag
Nectar ones at Wiggle are lovely too.

Water although I did try some of my friends High5 tabs, the one with caffeine in and it was quite tasty.
I use a 50:50 mix of apple juice and water. Reasonably cheap, can be resupplied en route, tastes nice and has some carbs too.

for short night rides. Keeps your back warm too
Tried using Lucozade Sport for a while, as it was on special offer, but found it too sweet when taking lots of sips from a CB over long periods. And it felt like my teeth were rotting off by the end of the ride! Then tried some powdered electrolyte stuff (forget the brand, could have been SIS). Tasted ok but was a bit sickly, even when using a low concentration.
Now I just use water!

Water, or water with some Ginger & Lemon Grass cordial for me(the posh stuff in the tall green bottles) Nuun citrus fruit for big hot rides because it does help with cramp avoidance.
Just tried Torq Lemon & Lime for an energy boost because I've been taking some pain killers/anti inflammatories that have ****ed me up and I have to say that it was quite nice.
water,salt, sugar.

Torq Natural - Add whatever squash is open. 😉

I'm sure it's completely true - if you drink a drink with no sugar in it, you'll surely burn more fat than someone drinking a sugary drink.
Doubt it burns fat any different than water, though.
I tend to drop a Zero tab in my drink purely as I find it more palatable than plain water. Also it really did seem to stop me getting cramp.
Robinsons peach n barley!
Water, sometimes with ice cubes.

If it's really hot, I'll freeze the full bladder overnight for a longer lasting ice cold drink
It defrosts at a nice steady rate usually
That flavoured still water from Morrisons, the orange & peach one is tasty so I tend to drink more than I would if it was plain watta.
