The Cooler Jug

The batch math for a half-gallon cooler at a golf round, a team practice, or a day of yard work. Each packet is portioned for 16 to 20 ounces, so a 64-ounce jug wants three to four packets.

Ingredients
  • 4 packets of one flavor, such as Propel Berry in the collection →
  • 64 ounces (half a gallon) of cold water
  • A tray of ice, added at the end
  • One insulated jug or cooler with a spout
Method
  1. 01

    For a lighter jug you can sip all day, use three.

  2. 02

    Pour the packets into the empty jug first, then add a quart of water and swirl until nothing settles at the bottom.

  3. 03

    Top up with the remaining water and stir once from the bottom with a long spoon.

  4. 04

    Add the ice last so it chills the batch instead of watering down the mixing.

  5. 05

    Cap it, throw it in the truck, and refill bottles from the spout all day.
