Coconut water provides potassium and electrolytes, while sea salt adds sodium. This combination mimics commercial sports drinks' electrolyte profile without synthetic ingredients.
Table salt works, but sea salt is preferred because it contains trace minerals. Use the same amount (1/4 teaspoon).
Adjust the lemon or lime juice to taste, or increase/decrease the fruit juice ratio. Start with the base recipe and modify on your next batch.
