Cirkul Liquid Sticks are a versatile way to flavor water on the go. They dissolve instantly in cold or room-temperature water, making them perfect for quick hydration. But you can do more than just flavor—you can create custom electrolyte drinks tailored to your workout or daily needs.
This guide walks you through the process step by step, from choosing the right Liquid Stick to mixing it with Cirkul's electrolyte cartridges. You'll also learn common mistakes to avoid and how to get the most out of your hydration routine.
What Are Cirkul Liquid Sticks?
Cirkul Liquid Sticks are single-use liquid flavor concentrates. Unlike powder mixes, they dissolve quickly without clumping. They come in a variety of flavors, some with added electrolytes or vitamins. You can use them in any water bottle, not just Cirkul bottles, making them a flexible option.
For electrolyte drinks, you can combine Liquid Sticks with Cirkul's sports drink cartridges like Flyte or Stage. These cartridges contain electrolytes and are designed to be used with the Cirkul bottle system. However, you can also use Liquid Sticks alone for a simpler approach.
- Liquid Sticks are portable and don't require measuring.
- They work with any water bottle, so you're not locked into one system.
Step-by-Step: How to Create a Custom Electrolyte Drink
Creating your own electrolyte drink with Cirkul Liquid Sticks is easy. Follow these steps for a balanced, refreshing beverage.
Start with cold water. Fill a 16-20 oz bottle with cold water. Cold water helps the liquid mix evenly and tastes better. If you're using a Cirkul bottle, you can also use the flavor dial to add extra flavor from a cartridge.
- Always use cold water to avoid a flat taste.
Choosing the Right Liquid Stick Flavor
Cirkul offers a range of Liquid Stick flavors, from fruity to citrus. For electrolyte drinks, consider flavors that pair well with sports drink cartridges. For example, a citrus Liquid Stick pairs nicely with a berry sports drink cartridge.
If you're new to Cirkul, start with a flavor you already enjoy. You can always adjust the amount you pour.
- Try a variety pack to discover your favorites.
Steps to Mix Your Custom Electrolyte Drink
- Fill your bottle with cold water: Use 16–20 oz of cold water for best results. Cold water helps the liquid dissolve evenly and tastes better. Checkpoint: Water should be cold to the touch.
- Add your Liquid Stick flavor: Tear open a Liquid Stick and pour the entire contents into the water. Stir or shake well. Mistake to avoid: Don't add the Liquid Stick before water, as it may stick to the bottom.
- Optional: Add an electrolyte cartridge: If using a Cirkul bottle, insert a sports drink cartridge like Flyte or Stage and set your dial to your preferred intensity. This adds extra electrolytes. Checkpoint: Start with a lower dial setting and adjust to taste.
- Taste and adjust: Take a sip. If it's too strong, add more water. If you want more flavor, add another Liquid Stick or increase the dial. Mistake to avoid: Don't overdo it—too many electrolytes can taste overly sweet.
Products to Enhance Your Electrolyte Drink
- Flyte® 6-Pack Variety Pack: Each box includes six flavor cartridges with replenishing electrolytes. Includes 2 Last Drive (Blue Raspberry), 2 Fast Break (Strawberry Banana), 2 Shutout (Grape). This variety pack lets you try multiple electrolyte flavors without committing to a full box. Pair each cartridge with a Liquid Stick to create a custom drink.
- Stage Strawberry Watermelon: A sports drink designed to replenish fluids and electrolytes lost during exercise. Sweetened with stevia and has a refreshing strawberry watermelon flavor.
