I use a 12-pack cooler.

Fill halfway with cubed ice. Add 2 oz of Ammonia Spirits and top off with water.

If that may be more than needed, same cooler, 1/3 ice, 1 oz AS and about of quart of water.

This is what works for us and helps the umpires. It is not a substitute for hydration and proper rest between games, but it certainly helps bring you back from exhaustion caused by heat quicker to "enjoy" the needed recuperation.

Key is wiping down before placing towel on head/face/neck to avoid transfering the dirt and sweat to towel. Always wring out towel well before placing in "Florida" water.
