Here are three ways to prepare it.

Why does this recipe use grapefruit instead of mango?

How to Mix These Isotonic Drinks

  1. Pour the water into a jug or shaker.

How should I store any isotonic drink I don't finish right away?

Keep it in a sealed bottle or jug in the fridge and drink it within a day, giving it a shake before pouring since the fruit can settle.
