How to Mix 2.5 Gallon Gatorade Powder

How to mix 2.5 gallon Gatorade powder right

A 21 ounce pouch of Gatorade powder makes 2.5 finished gallons, and finished is the word people miss. That number is the total volume after mixing, not the amount of water you add. Get it backwards and the batch comes out weak or turns into syrup concentrate.

This guide walks the whole process: choosing the right cooler, the correct water to powder ratio, when ice goes in and when it should not, a stirring technique that dissolves every scoop, and how to serve and rinse between shifts. Under a minute, and it fixes the most common cooler mistake on job sites.
