I like it although you taste the ascorbic acid
I like the flavor of this.  To be honest I usually use one packet in a 50 ounce water container that I keep chilled in the fridge.  It comes out lightly flavored that way and then I just pour as I go.  Although when I first had it I added the pouch, as instructed, to less water - 12 ounces, I believe.  That way it packs too much flavor to me.  It isn't bad at all that way - nice and orangey - pretty ascorbic acidy - but I still liked it.  But generally I like water-type drinks with less flavor.  So I usually mix it in a 24 ounce water bottle or the larger bottle in the fridge - just depends what mood I am in.<br /><br />Like I said you definitely taste the ascorbic acid - some people may know what I am talking about.  Personally I like that flavor.  It reminds me sort of like a Gatorade in that regard - so that makes me feel even more hydrated (mentally, I suppose).  : )<br /><br />I have never played Pickleball and am surprised that a bunch of drink products are geared towards fans of the game - but good for them.  Regardless if you like pickleball, play pickleball, have never heard of it - this is still a very solid drink for sports or while laying on the couch!
