Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “Aquarius” drink all over the place, especially when people talk about drinks in Spain. I got curious, so I decided to figure out what it is and, more importantly, try making it myself. Here’s how it went down.
Getting Started: What even is Aquarius?
First things first, I needed to know what I was dealing with. I did some digging, and it turns out Aquarius is like the Spanish version of Gatorade, but maybe a bit less intense? It’s a sports drink, supposed to help you hydrate, with a bunch of electrolytes and stuff. Apparently, it’s super popular in Spain, almost like a regular soda.
The Mission: Finding the Stuff
Now, the real challenge: getting my hands on some. I don’t live in Spain, So I Checked Some biggest Supermarket, nope. Not a single bottle. Then went to some smaller Shops nearby, still nothing! Finally, hit up a big International food shop. Bingo! Found a couple of bottles – one lemon flavor and one orange. Score!
Taste Test Time!
- The Lemon One: This one was pretty good! Kinda like a milder, less sugary lemonade. It wasn’t too sweet, which I liked, and it had a nice, refreshing tang. I could see why people would drink this on a hot day.
- The Orange One: This one was… okay. It tasted like a watered-down orange soda, not as exciting as the lemon. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t amazing either.
My Verdict: Would I Drink It Again?
Yeah, I probably would! Especially the lemon flavor. It was a nice change from plain water, and it felt like it would be great after a workout or if I was feeling a bit dehydrated. It’s not something I’d go crazy for, but it’s definitely a solid drink. I think if I did live in a hot place like Spain, I might have that drink a lot more often, It is really a good choice I think.
Could I make this myself?
After the tast test, I started to make my own “Aquarius”, and I found that it is really simple!
- First, find a big bottle, and put some salt in it.
- Then, if you like lemon flavor, squeeze some lemons into it. If you prefer orange, put orange juice in it.
- After that, put some sugar in it.
- The last thing is just about water, add some water, and it is done!
It really taste like the “Aquarius” I bought from the store! The only defference is the one made by myself, there are no bubbles in it. I think I will drink what I made myself!
