Reviews mention

  • Fast-acting hydration boost
  • Convenient travel-friendly packets
  • Wide, crowd-pleasing flavors
  • Smooth, easy dissolving powder
  • Overly sweet flavor profiles
  • Noticeable salty aftertaste
  • High sugar and sodium content
  • Occasional clumping texture

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.

  • Liquid IV is literally the perfect hangover cure!! Everytime I drink I’ll take one before going out and then I’ll take another when I come home or the next morning and I feel way better in the morning and not has dehydrated! I think the flavor is pretty good too! I’ve had the strawberry and lemon lime.

  • The fact that Liquid IV saved my life after a night out with the girls… I didn’t deserve to even feel decent! Me and my crew were able to wake up early the next day and go to a theme park after a night on the town with copious amounts of adult beverages! Ever since that experience, I keep a box on hand and I like trying new flavors. I do prefer mixing Liquid IV with very cold water. I give the taste an 8/10. It tastes pretty good and it works wonders!!!

  • In 2021 I got sick due to covid going around my job. One of my co-workers recommended I try liquid IV to help with hydration. She brought one in for me to try and I was hooked. I've been buying them in bulk from Costco ever since. 10/10 would recommend.

  • A huge perk to the Liquid IV packets is that they contain a lot more powder than some of the alternative options out there, so the drinks can either be more flavored or more water can be used. These are super easy to use and convenient to carry around. I love a lot of the flavors but especially tangerine. They also frequently put out new flavors that are fun to try. Great for when you are feeling dehydrated and need a quick pick-me-up.

  • Have been using Liquid IV for a couple years now when I need to hydrate quickly. Perfect before and after a night of drinking! My go to flavor is passion fruit but I like acai berry too. I would use everyday if they were a bit cheaper.

  • I absolutely love this brand. I was having issues with dehydration and just not really wanting to drink water through the day. This fixes my issues and helps me stay hydrated and alert

  • Chefs kiss🫶 I love this stuff. I drink it every morning before my coffee. I started drinking it when I was pregnant because you have to drink so much water and it’s so good. It didn’t make me sick or anything. I still find it delicious and the best hydration supplement/drink out there. I prefer this over any other drink hands down.

    nothing, it’s perfect 🫶

  • This was the only drink that I would stomach during my pregnancy. In the first trimester of me being pregnant I was always nauseous and barely could hold down water. I sent discovered these amazing and convenient packets. First of all it’s so easy to use you just open up the packet and add it to water. It’s perfect if you are traveling or on the go and you just don’t have time to get a drink. This took away my nausea and it made me feel so much more energized and refreshed. Now that I am on my postpartum journey I am actually incorporating these into my work outs. These help me when I’m sweating and when I am working out. I highly recommend these hydration packets.

    Nothing honestly these are amazing!

  • This has been my hangover go-to product for a few years now. I have enjoyed most of the flavors. I really do think it helps me to re-hydrate and bounce back quickly. I also travel with these and take them on long flights and really hot beach vacations.

  • I’ve been using the Sugar-Free Lemon Lime Liquid I.V. and really enjoy it as a daily hydration boost. The flavor is crisp, refreshing, and not overly sweet, which makes it easy to drink compared to other mixes. I appreciate that it’s sugar-free but still gives me steady energy without the crash. It dissolves quickly in water with no chalky texture, and it’s great for travel or workouts. If anything could be improved, I’d love to see the packaging made more eco-friendly, since I go through a lot of single packets. Overall, it’s a convenient and tasty way to stay hydrated, and I’d definitely recommend it.

  • I am following a weight loss plan and need to stay hydrated and maintain my electrolytes. I never enjoyed an electrolyte replacement until I tried DripDrop. I love the taste, and the convenience of the individual packets. I look forward to my daily DriDrop!

  • I just recently bout the new liquid iv immune support. I got the tangerine hydration multiplier flavor and it was outstanding, I would definitely recommend giving this one a try the next time you get liquid iv.

  • I ride horses daily, so I need to replenish and stay hydrated. These are great for people on the go such as myself as well and all of my ranch hands. And they come in handy for my son that skateboarding. Strawberry is my favorite flavor. I just put them in my saddle bags, or backpack and ride or roll out! 10/10

  • Liquid I.V. is hands down a staple in my household, and honestly, I don’t know how we’d survive Arizona summers without it. With the brutal heat out here, staying hydrated isn’t just important it’s essential. From hiking days to running errands under the blazing sun, Liquid I.V. helps keep us feeling our best. I love how easy it is to mix up a packet, and the flavors make drinking water feel like a treat instead of a chore. It’s perfect for post-workouts, long days outside, or even when you’re just feeling a little run down. I’ve noticed such a difference in my energy and how quickly I bounce back from the heat since we started keeping Liquid I.V. stocked in the pantry. Plus, it’s something the whole family enjoys, which makes it even better. If you live somewhere hot like Arizona or just struggle to stay hydrated, I highly recommend giving it a try. It’s honestly one of the best choices we’ve made for our health and wellness routine. We won’t go a day without it!

  • AI’m a hiking girlie and just did a 14er (Mt. Bierstadt!). I was this close to cramping up the last 200 feet, but Liquid I.V. honestly saved me. The hydration hit fast, and the flavor was perfectly balanced—not too sweet. Only thing is, it can be a little sticky if it leaks, so shake + seal it tight!

  • I’ve been drinking liquid IV during my workouts and outdoor excursions and I no longer have headaches after being outside in the hot sun. I used to get wiped out from being in the sun for only a few minutes but now I realize I was just dehydrated and in need of electrolytes. It tastes great and it works.

  • Tastes amazing! I love using Liquid IV when I’m exercising in the summertime to stay hydrated and feel refreshed. The lemon lime flavor is my favorite, but the watermelon is a close second. I also use Liquid IV when I am sick and the nice flavors make everything so much easier.

  • Honestly, I’m not sold. They market it like a healthy hydration boost, but each packet has 11g of sugar—which feels like a lot for something that’s supposed to be good for you. Yeah, it has electrolytes, but there are better options out there with way less sugar. Feels a little misleading, tbh.

  • Tried Liquid I.V. for the first time. Not too bad. I tried the Strawberry. Not overpowering with a sour strawberry. It is like a creamy strawberry taste. Mixes nicely into 40oz of water, and has no color just taste. Gives a nice boost to a busy day or after a workout

  • Great on the go solution when feeling dehydrated. Some of the flavors (Strawberry) can be too sweet. Lemon lime is the best. Individual servings, easy to take on the go.
