Ingredients
2 oz vodka or gin
4 oz sports drink (e.g., Gatorade or Powerade)
1 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz simple syrup (optional, to taste)
Ice cubes
Lime wheel for garnish
Instructions

Pour the vodka or gin over the ice.

Stir gently to combine.
Taste and add simple syrup if desired for extra sweetness.

Tips
Use a sports drink flavor that complements the spirit, like lemon-lime with vodka or fruit punch with rum.
For a non-alcoholic version, omit the spirit and add a splash of soda water.
Chill the sports drink beforehand for a colder cocktail without diluting it too quickly.
