Liquid I.V. earns strong reviews for fast, noticeable hydration—especially after workouts, travel, heat, and hangovers—while convenient single-serve packets and broad flavor variety (Lemon Lime, Strawberry, Passion Fruit, Watermelon, Golden Cherry) stand out. However, many reviews flag overly sweet, sometimes salty flavors, a “thick” mouthfeel, undissolved grit, and high sugar/sodium; some prefer diluting with more water or the newer sugar‑free line, and a few question ingredient “cleanliness” or effectiveness versus competitors.

Literally drinking one right now as I have a little cold. These are so good! I love the flavors, especially tangerine. We purchase a large pack from Costco usually and have these on hand for anytime we need a little boost.

They have more sugar than some alternatives, but that’s probably what makes them so delicious to drink.

With this new addition to the tear and shake industry I adore the flavor of the watermelon one I indulged in guiltlessly. With the same refreshing taste of a gatorade without the nasty after the taste, it may just be an item at add as a staple to my supplement regiment. I also was shocked by how well it dissolved into my water making it a frosty replenisher right before my eyes. No chunky leftovers either. By far, one of the best tasting drink mixes I have had.

The price point is a bit higher than others but you pay for what you get.

AMAZING! Very helpful for hydration especially for cross country. Watermelon is the best flavor.

It is really expensive for just a pack of ten and being like $20.

I definitely felt more hydrated, but I also noticed that it made me more thirsty. Which might be how it works? Makes you thirsty, for you to drink more water, in order to stay hydrated?

The flavor is a little sweet for my liking. After my tasting my first packet with the suggested amount of water I decided to try only half the next time, which tasted so much better! I tasted strawberry and tangerine while both were great I preferred tangerine more because it was less sweet.

I have really been liking the açaí berry i it’s got a great taste but is the only flavor I have tried so far. As someone who needs to drink more water but doesn’t always succeed I really do feel a difference when I add this especially if I add a one a few days in a row. Also Vegan friendly!

I LOVE liquid iv! After a workout or anytime I’m feeling like I need a pick-me-up and don’t want coffee, I just make one of these! I’ve had the Acai and Passionfruit flavors, both are delicious!

Love this product! After a long hot summer run it’s the perfect boost of extra hydration and it’s tasty!! I’ve suffered from hydration headaches but liquid I.V. has really seemed to help. Top flavors: watermelon, strawberry, concord grape

I live in Arizona and the heat has been awful lately, I was checking around to get supplements to add to my water and aid my hydration, i saw these and decided to try the lime flavor, to be honest i expected it to taste like medicine lol i dont like gatorade nor powerade so this was a great surprise that i liked this! The flavor is great! It’s definitely not like natural limeade but its close, would definitely recommend

I would say having bigger packages

I recently tried these because I don’t drink as much water as I should. The flavor is good and I feel much more hydrated after using these verses a regular bottle of water. These are a great way to stay hydrated.

More flavor options

Love the hydration it can provide when you're running around but don't love the flavor and overall aftertaste.

The taste is amazing and works great!

I use this often especially when I feel sick and want to hydrate. I wouldn’t drink this daily as it is high in sugar.

Liquid I.V. delivers fast hydration with great taste. It’s convenient, effective after workouts or long days, and helps recover quicker. A must-have on hot days or travel! The flavors are super tasty too.

The flavors are innovative, fun and on point with trends in the market. However... my big problem with these drink mixes is the sweetness and sugar content. I can't stand the level of sugar and have to constantly dilute. There are more efficient ways to get my electrolytes
Of all the electrolyte water enhancers I’ve tried, I like Liquid IV the most. The brand offers various flavors and benefits (like immunity boost and energy). However, following the packet's directions to mix with 16oz of water, you get a very thick and concentrated drink. I recommend mixing with 24-32 oz of water for the best taste. By far, it is one of the most expensive electrolyte enhancers.
I think Liquid IV has specifically been useful in Texas summer heat, but I'm not convinced by the sickly-sweet tastes of the Mango/passionfruit as something I can use in a more long-term way. I would love to try the other flavors!
I’ve been using liquid IV for the past year and it has been good and bad at the same time. Some flavors are really sugary and some are really salty. But overall, they keep me hydrated

Ever since I started drinking these a few years ago, they've been a pantry staple for me and my partner. We bring them on every weekend roadtrip, backpacking or camping trip, work, you name it. It's delicious and I prefer it to something like a Gatorade.
