**Hydration Sport Drink Mix** is Skratch’s baseline: electrolytes plus simple carbs. It’s designed to replace what you lose in sweat, while giving light energy so you don’t bonk out. Mix one scoop per 12-16 oz of water (350-500 ml) and sip during workouts or rides. It strikes a balance: fluid, flavor from real fruit, and what most moderate riders will need when sweating but not racing flat-out for a long duration (less than 60 minutes).
