It is no secret that I love Liquid I.V. and for so many reasons. Any time you can create and easy and delicious hydration drinks with just a few steps that make you feel better, I’m 100% on board.
Liquid I.V. Hydration
If you’ve been around here for a bit, you know that before any bubbly tasting adventure or any bubbly tasting pairing party, we always drink a Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier. This is definitely a proactive measure on my part because I am horrible at drinking water once I get started with bubbly.
And I don’t drink Liquid I.V. hydration drinks daily just for their hydration help. I mean, I drink water all day long until it’s an acceptable time to pop the bubbly. Liquid I.V. hydration multiplier contains 5 Essential Vitamins: B3, B5, B6, B12 and Vitamin C that I know I personally don’t get enough of in my diet, so I would have to supplement them in some way so why not get the hydration benefits alongside.
My second favorite flavor, Tangerine has all this good stuff and 5x the daily value of Vitamin C, combined with Zinc and Wellmune® designed to maintain and strengthen the immune system which is definitely needed in the winter.
My typical day includes water, coffee, and more water until its time to pop the bubbly. And I typically drink 100+ ounces of water a day except in the winter. I don’t know what it is, but I just don’t drink as much water in the winter. So, Liquid I.V. hydration multiplier is definitely needed in the winter.
Hydration Drinks
There is truly nothing easier than emptying a packet of Liquid I.V. hydration multiplier into 16 oz of water, shaking it up and drinking it down, but we decided it would be so much fun to create mocktail hydration drinks using a Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier flavor as the base.
And I will say, that some of these mocktail creations are even tastier than the Liquid I.V. hydration multiplier by itself.
You will find a collection of hydration drinks or mocktail recipes on Liquid I.V. and here’s the difference between our hydration drinks and theirs:
- Bubbly Side of Life Hydration Drinks use Liquid I.V. hydration made according to the instructions on the packet and gives you the amount of already mixed Liquid I.V. to add to the mocktail.
- Liquid I.V. uses an entire packet no matter the amount of the liquid used to create the mocktail.
Take a look at this list of hydration drinks featuring Liquid I.V….one of our favorite mocktail creations to date.
Berry Refreshing Lemonade Hydration Drink
One of my favorites is the Berry Refreshing Lemonade. So much so, that I made it in the Liquid I.V. travel cup so I could enjoy it on the run.
I like this one because the strawberry Liquid I.V. hydration multiplier is a bit too sweet for me, so by adding the lemon flavor water and lemonade, it makes a perfect balance of sweet and sour.
- 4 oz Sparkling Water Lemon Flavor
- 4 oz Lemonade
- 8 oz Liquid I.V. Strawberry flavor
- Strawberry and lemon to garnish
- Prepare the Liquid I.V. according to the directions on the packet.
- Combine the ingredients.
- Mix well and garnish with a strawberry and/or lemon.
TIP: This one would be so great for summer and I would even add a bit of vodka turning the mocktail into a co*cktail and maybe even top it with bubbly instead of sparkling water.
Apple Pie-dration Hydration Drink
This hydration mocktail just screams fall. The Apple Pie flavor Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier tastes exactly like apple juice. And I don’t love apple juice. But I do love this hydration drink using apple pie flavor as the base.
- 4 oz Polar Sparkling Water (Vanilla)
- 2 oz Apple Cider
- 10 oz Apple Pie Liquid I.V.
- Cinnamon Stick and Apple to garnish
- Prepare the Liquid I.V. according to the directions on the packet.
- Combine all of the ingredients.
- Stir with a cinnamon stick and garnish with an apple.
TIP: This would be great warmed up in the fall/winter and can even be turned into a co*cktail with Fireball Whiskey or flavored vodka.

We’ve been creating mocktails for over a year now and my favorites are mocktails that can be turned into co*cktails with just a few ingredients. These are our very first mocktail creations.
This is what started all the mocktail fun and mocktail experiments. You can find so many recipes on the blog, on Pinterest and over on our Instagram page.
