NEW LOOK. NEW NAME. SAME FORMULA.
Our Unsweetened Hydration Sport Drink Mix (formerly Everyday Drink Mix) is made with simple, functional ingredients—electrolytes and a squeeze of real fruit. It delivers the same electrolyte profile to replace what is lost in sweat as our original Hydration Sport Drink Mix, but without any added sugar. Designed for athletes who want to keep their fuel and hydration separate—or simply prefer a lighter-tasting option.  It’s hydration for when you’re thirsty and need electrolytes, a touch of real fruit flavor, and nothing more.

frequently asked questions

Electrolytes are minerals, like sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, that help your body hold onto fluid, maintain proper muscle function, and keep your nervous system firing. When you sweat, you lose more than just water, you also lose electrolytes, especially sodium. If you don’t replace both, your performance can suffer. Replacing them helps you stay hydrated and perform better, longer.

Our electrolyte profile was developed to match what is in sweat - 400 mg sodium/L, 100 mg potassium/L, 50 mg calcium/L, 50 mg magnesium/L. We include the average amount of electrolytes lost in sweat, especially sodium, so your hydration reflects what your body actually needs. That balance helps your body absorb water faster and makes thirst a better guide during exercise.

Our unsweetened sport drink mix is for athletes who want hydration without added sugar or sweeteners. It’s designed for when you don’t need fuel in your bottle, just electrolytes and a light taste to help you stay hydrated. It’s great if you’re doing shorter workouts, using other fuel sources, managing your sugar intake, or just want something easy to sip throughout the day.

Both are built to replace the electrolytes you lose in sweat, especially sodium. But only Sport Hydration Drink Mix contains sugar, which helps increase fluid absorption and provides light fuel. Unsweetened Sport Drink Mix is sugar-free, ideal when you don’t need carbs in your drink or prefer a lighter, less sweet taste.

It has a light, real-fruit flavor with a slightly salty taste (especially our Salted Margarita flavor), just enough to remind you it’s doing something, but nowhere near a salt bomb. It’s sugar-free, so it won’t taste sweet, but it’s still easy and enjoyable to drink, even when you’re not exercising.

Absolutely. It’s great for flying, long drives, or anytime you're not training and want to stay on top of hydration. It also comes in handy when you’re sick or recovering, since it replaces lost electrolytes without any sugar or heaviness.

Definitely. Unsweetened Hydration Sport Drink Mix is great on its own, but it’s also designed to be part of your broader fueling system. Add our Electrolyte Booster for more sodium when it’s extra hot or sweaty, without adding calories, carbs, or more flavor.

We use real fruit for flavor—no emulsifiers or stabilizers—so some settling is normal. Just give your bottle a quick shake before each sip and you’re good to go. We think it’s worth it for flavor that’s real, not fake.

“On easier days, I keep things simple. I’ll use Unsweetened Sport Drink Mix to stay hydrated without overdoing the carbs… I love the flexibility that gives me to listen to my body and fuel accordingly.”

The Best!

My husband & I were so happy to find a true unsweetened electrolyte mix. With no sweeteners, it's not only better for us, but more refreshing. It's all we buy these days for hydration.

Easy to consume and doesn’t irritate my gut during the day.

Same results, less sugar

I was looking to cut down on the sugar intake but still get the boost I needed. This stuff is great and I wish I had tried it earlier.

My Go-To

This is a great hydration aid, especially here in NM where it's super dry. I love that it doesn't have any sugar in it. I use it for shorter efforts when I don't need the carbs of a drink, or during recovery. Tastes great, both flavors. I first tried this out because the packaging is far superior to a lot of the individually wrapped or tabs in plastic tubes. It seems expensive, but the pouch lasts a long time. Scratch is such a great regional company, fantastic customer service. I usually buy 2 ouches to get free shipping.

Great hydration to assist with breastfeeding

I am a marathon runner and excited to use this for running recovery, but currently I’m a new mom and love the electrolytes support I get from this while I am breastfeeding. There’s no stevia and I think it tastes better than competitors like LMNT.

A family favorite

So many electrolyte drinks have other things I just don’t want (stevia, etc) but this is simple, light and delicious. It’s good for multiple generations in my family and we all enjoy the flavors and effectiveness - keeping us hydrated and going strong!

Solid, everyday

Drink it daily. 5 Stars, BUT WE GOTTA GET OTHER FLAVORS. Anything not lemon/lime based. The watermelon prototype from 2025 was ELITE. I feel very passionately about this haha. Come on, SKRATCH! Get to it.

I'm available for board positions/guidance on the subject.

Drink this everyday

As a runner I sometimes feel like I struggle with hydrating in normal life activities to then be ready to go for my workout. I drink one scoop in my water bottle most days and have noticed a difference! I also love that there is not really much flavor. It is not over powering and doesn't register as a "drink" that I have to then like or dislike.

Dries your mouth out. 😣 I probably won’t order it again.
