Quite dreadful
Weak lemon squash with a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of salt. It has yet to turn me into Greg Lemond, but I quite like the taste....especially the salt.

Ride It Like You Stole It!
Generally just water upto 35 mile hilly / 2 hour training rides (i.e. fast).
Longer then it's Isostar Long Energy and fruit etc. - e.g. a 3 hour 60 miler
or a 45 mile hilly.
CC rides just lots a water - 1 energy drink if hilly.
Sportives, then just about what ever I can cram in.....
Some food every 10 miles, 4 gels, 3-4 litres of energy drink, and any fruit at stops. Oh and the toothbrush once I get home 
Water for commuting. Try to finish 500ml in the morning - just to re-hydrate.

On anything shorter than 30miles I then to just use water. Sadly I tend to sweat a lot (always have and not over weight) so tend to suffer from cramp on longer rides unless I replace essential salts etc so like others on here I have one bottle with water and another with an electrolyte powder (currently lemon/lime SIS Go as I cannot deal with sweet drinks or gels on a ride)
