I think the blue one might have turned bad (probably my fault). It tastes like bacteria or something. The drink turned a weird green that can either look like an especially healthy potion, or some really chemical poison. (blue gatorade and yellow honey makes that, apparently)
The orange one is not so bad, but nothing really good either. Right after bottling, I still discerned the chemical orange flavour, which was kind of nice, but after a few weeks of aging in bottles, I have a hard time telling what it tastes exactly. I can tell it's gatorade-based, but without a particular, recognizable gatorade flavor. The color is nice, though. It kept the clear, distinguishable orange from the gatorade. Just a bit darker.
Taste-wise, it's definitively the worst batch I've made so far. Otherwise, I didn't get any headache from it and the orange one is still drinkable. 4/10 because it's got electrolytes.
Thanks for the update ๐
