I must say I agree with you Tejvan that 4:1 is a very good drink. Ive used it lots of times in preference to PSP22 and SIS Go electrolyte. I tended to get cramps with Go but found 4:1 better tasting and with no cramps at all.

For a very cheap, DIY isotonic drink, I like to use half fruit juice to water (or green tea left to cool, if you want more flavour/caffeine), then add a pinch of salt for every 500ml. Low salt is better; it contains potassium chloride as well as sodium chloride. You can vary the proportions of fruit juice to water to make a hypertonic or hypotonic drink instead. You could also use squash (make sure it isn’t sugar free) instead.
