Liquid I.V. earns strong reviews for fast, noticeable hydration—especially after workouts, heat, travel, or a night out—while convenient single-serve packets and broad flavor variety (standouts include Lemon Lime, Strawberry, Passion Fruit, Watermelon, Golden Cherry) make it easy to use. Reviews also flag consistent drawbacks: many flavors taste overly sweet or salty, some feel thick or artificial, and the added sugar and sodium (with a newer sugar‑free line noted) are frequent concerns; mixing can clump and flavor hit-or-miss. Overall, the brand is effective but polarizing on taste and ingredients.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
Good flavors and form factor. Easy to use. Enjoyed adding electrolytes to my water but moved to an alternative brand that was lower calorie and less sweet
Feedback
Too sweet and unnecessarily high in calories

Super yummy and felt great after I drink it. Honestly have tried a handful of these types of electrolyte drink mixes and it seemed like one of the rests so I didn't find anything different or special from this one particular. This is the one I have the most because the bulk selling of it at Costco is very convenient. Really love all the different flavors and the energy and immune one are my favorite.
An excellent way to ensure your body stays hydrated and has the necessary electrolytes to function well. Easy and mobile packaging ensures it's simple to travel with and use anywhere. The taste is good - not overpowering or sugary but definitely not too faint. Don't love the passionfruit but love the lemon lime!

The name overpromises based on product functionality.

Love liquid iv! Has saved me multiple times when dehydrated, especially as a migraine sufferer it helps so much!
I love how easy there are to throw in a bag or lunchbox. I used them when visiting Disney World in the hot, humid Florida heat and felt they helped a ton with my hydration status. The taste isn't the absolute best as they kind of a have a hint of salty flavor to them, but I'm sure that's part of the electrolytes.

I really like Liquid IVs for, particularly, before and/or after drinking alcohol. I have used them at many music festivals and I feel that they allow me to have more energy and be more hydrated throughout the day. I really like the immunity and the energy versions!
Feedback
They taste very sweet and I would prefer a slightly less sweet taste.

Okay, way to sweet.

I love this product - the flavor options keep advancing and it is so nice to see more than lemon lime! This is a costco staple of ours and I absolutely love it.
Feedback
The price feels like it's only grown which is a bummer but such is life - would love more flavors with less sugar.

Some of the flavors aren’t great but overall I keep these on hand for days I’m feeling dehydrated.
Feedback
Some flavors could be better.
Delicious tasting, not grainy, and ready to use in a pinch

Reduce added sugar
LOVE Liquid I.V., has an interesting taste at first but easy to get used to. I really love strawberry & tangerine extra vitamin c! I always buy in bulk, take on vacations, drink before/after a heavy workout or long run All of my friends make sure it's on our packing list
Feedback
More flavors, extra boost of vitamin c in all not just tangerine
Go to brand for electrolytes. Definitely on the pricer side but I have tried several flavours and all are pretty good.
Feedback
Wish they were less sweet and they sold a tub or something to minimise single use packaging.
Not my favorite product like this but I know others love it. I find the flavors too strong

it does make you feel more hydrated but this could be accomplished by like just drinking a gatorade or pediatelite. I don't think this is as healthy as the branding makes it seem as there still sugar in it and it is not worth the price tag.
Feedback
less sweet
They are suppppper salty tasting. I couldn’t get through it
Feedback
More flavor less salt
Mixed results on flavors. Love the lemon lime and use it very frequently, but flavors like strawberry and pineapple are completely undrinkable
Fancy Millenial gatorade pouch. that's not an insult, I love gatorade. Definitely has a pronounced saltiness to it. The energy one with matcha is not my favorite, I call it swamp water. Needs some doctoring to make it palatable but I am also not the biggest matcha fan. The tangerine flavor is my favorite. Pricey when I'm pretty sure you could just add lemon and salt to your water and have a comparable result.
I love this stuff! I've tried a few flavors by now and I remember seeing sponsored content by creators when it first came out. My favorite is probably the strawberry lemonade, but I also love the matcha lemon one. These really help me out when I need a midday pick me up at work, but also were a lifesaver during my friends bachelorette party! I was drinking these all weekend!
Feedback
The consistency to mix the matcha lemonade wasn't great but I feel like that's the only flavor I've had a problem with. It can get kinda clumpy but in the end does mix. Also I've found that they're all slightly salty but makes sense with the electrolytes.

I have low potassium levels so I’ve been drinking liquid IV to help boost them up in conjunction with other things. I can see a difference when I take these and usually feel a lot less dizzy when I do which has been so nice
Feedback
The taste is a bit sweet for me so I often only use half of the packet and I kind of wish the flavors were more basic but I feel a difference in my energy levels and that is so great! Feel like it could maybe cheaper for what it is and they could use more sustainable packaging.
Listen, do they taste *amazing* to me? No., but they taste good enough and they do their job to keep me hydrated. Could I do with less sugar in it? Yes, for sure. Could we all just add a little pink himalayan or celtic sea salt to our drinks and have it do the same thing? Also yes, but sometimes this is easier.
Feedback
I would love if the packaging could be compostable.
