So let's talk about hydration...

What's your favorite drink on a hot day while doing 10 games in a row? Or does anyone have any creative hydration cocktails (banana shakes)?

Me? I prefer Gatorade or Powerade. Powerade tends to be a little cheaper, but every now and then, I (ahem... more like my wife) will find a good sale on 32 ounce bottles. $0.79/bottle ain't too bad.

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

G2, grape, $0.50/bottle at Wally World. Contains electrolyte. Also drink
water with it and use the ammonia spirits as prescribed by MOST on this
subject. In other words use it in ice and water mixture with a couple of
towels. Keep it from the eyes.

Yeah, that's not too shabby, either.

Anybody got a banana milkshake recipe? I think that'd go great in a cooler. Separate from the Florida water cooler, of course.

Not a true banana milkshake, but a tasty treat nonetheless:

STRAWBERRY BANANA MILKSHAKE

2 bananas
10 oz. box frozen strawberries, partially thawed
2 c. milk
2 pts. strawberry ice cream

Slice the bananas. Combine the bananas, strawberries, milk and 1 pint of the ice cream in blender, in batches. Blend until smooth. Pour milkshake into 4 glasses, top each with a scoop of the remaining ice cream. Garnish with a fresh strawberry.

If you don't want the strawberry flavor to be too dominant, use some vanilla ice cream in place of the strawberry ice cream.
