Round #2 - Lemon-lime Goo

I bought some brown rice syrup from Whole Foods the other day, the primary ingredient in Clif, which is my commercial goo of choice.  It was $6.99 for a 1 lb 5 oz jar.  (I guess it's so thick that's it's not even considered fluid.)  My original thought was to make something like the Margarita Shot Bloks, a flavor which curiously doesn't come in a goo.  I thought I could reduce some margarita mix to a thick sludge and then add the other stuff to it.  But I looked at the ingredients of the Jose Cuervo mix we have, and the first one is high fructose corn syrup.  No thanks, Jose!

Then I realized that we have a little bit of lemon-lime Gatorade G2 mix in the cabinet.  It's Chip's, as I don't really like the lemon-lime, but I was out of orange, and this keeps with the margarita theme anyway.

The recipe:

Somewhere between 1 and 2 tbsp of lemon-lime Gatorade G2 mix, dissolved in less than 2 tbsp of water  (for electrolytes and taste)
3/8 c brown rice syrup (for maltose & glucose)
1/8 c agave nectar (for fructose)
2 mill grinds of sea salt (for taste, and I presume electrolytes, but a google of that just leaves me befuddled)
1/2 tsp lime juice (for tartness)

Taste:
It's possible that I could have used a little more lime juice, and maybe a touch more salt.  But it's not bad.

Ease of Use:
I think it's going to be too runny, which is weird because that brown rice syrup is thick!  Next time I guess I'll use a tiny bit of water to dissolve the Gatorade.  

Performance:
Well....I wrote that part about the runny before I took it on a ride.  There's no 'thinking' it's going to be too runny.  It erupted all over me when I opened it.  On my face, legs, shoulders, bike, you name it.  Mostly on my legs, which was somewhat unfortunate because of the color.  It looked like I had peed a very sticky pee all down my legs!  So I have no idea if I would have bonked or not, because for starters, it was only a 20-mile ride so I didn't really need it anyway, but also because I would have had to have been desperate to keep trying to use it!

I'm going to try to salvage this batch by adding some more brown rice syrup, but next time I'm definitely going to dissolve the Gatorade in as little water as possible!
