Anyone else really digging this? I had been staying away from Gatorade but picked it up on a whim when I saw it next to the Jarritos sodas at my local Publix. (It’s apparently being marketed to Hispanics)
It’s got a nice strong cucumber scent, a milder cucumber flavor and seems a little less sweet that most Gatorade flavors. Will probably buy again, even though it’s only available in the smallish bottles around here.
cucumber seems to be making the rounds as a flavor in sports drinks. Nuun has a mint/cucumber version that I tried and thought was absolutely vile.
It’s awesome. My go-to flavor when I’m out on a long ride. I will say the lingering effect is REALLY strong. My bottles hold on to a bit of the flavor for a week or so. I wash them the same way I always do, but the Gatorade lime-cucumber really sticks in. Everything has a hint of that flavor for about a week, which is fine, but just a bit odd.
I actually thought to try it as I’d heard that lime-cucumber is apparently really “in” right now for mixed drinks and such. But I was surprised how good it was.
We have it in the 925mL bottles here.
found it last Spring at a Mexican market in FL…thought it was a Spanish only market product till I saw it at two of my local Publix markets last week…I found the idea of the flavor really interesting but agree it does have a really strong lingering aftertaste for a seemingly mild flavor…kind of cloying almost…Dont think Ill get i it again.

i’ve been juicing a lot of lime apple (or pear) juice with my juicer lately. That sounds like a gatorade I’d like. I can’t stand the strong/sweet flavors
Targeted to Hispanics…Im hispanic and the only way i eat cucumber is with Tapatio Sauce, lime, and salt.
I would never think of drinking anything with Cucumber…i’ve never heard of such a thing.
Its pretty funny actually.
I’ve been hitting the cucumber martini a a local hang out. Mmmmm. Gin.
i thought cucumbers were for pickles…
Made me sicker than a dog. Terrible, terrible, terrible taste to carry through a hot ride. I thought is sounded great as I love cucumber ice water and love lime. Big mistake on my part. I thought the flavor was much too harsh. I would have preferred it to be about half the concentration. It was too much for me.
The absolute best Gatorade flavor ever created. Perfect after long hot sessions.
Bought one on a Arizona summer night ride from school to home. 1st sip - Mmmm, refreshing. About 10 minutes later and a warmer bottle later - I’m going to throw up. The after taste lasted forever and stained my bottle with its scent. No bueno for me!
Sounds really bad to me.
Doesn’t exits (as of yet) around these parts (Canada - Nova Scotia). But I suspect I could make my own by soaking cucumbers in water then using that to mix up powdered Gatorade. I may just try that.

The first time I had a cucumber drink was a couple of years ago. I was staying at the Ritz-Carlton Buckhead in Atlanta and was doing some laps in their pool. It’s a fancy-schmancy place so they had pitchers of water infused with cucumber and mint (because drinking fountains are apparently tacky or something). Best f’n water I’ve ever tasted. I would stop into the gym several times a day just to drink some of that water. It was that good.
I can’t wait to try that Gatorade flavor.
