Orange Adrenal Cocktail

Your rating
Orange adrenal cocktail over ice with a Saltivate Orange stick packet beside the glass

The adrenal cocktail that took over wellness feeds is really just three things: orange juice, coconut water, and minerals, usually sea salt for sodium and cream of tartar for potassium. This version swaps both pantry powders for a single stick of Saltivate Orange, which brings 800mg of sodium, 240mg of potassium, and 60mg of magnesium with zero sugar and no stevia. The result tastes more like a citrus cooler than a supplement; pour one mid-morning or on days you sweat.

Ingredients

Makes one 16 oz glass, or two 8 oz glasses.

  • 1 stick pack Saltivate Orange
  • 1 cup (240 ml) orange juice, fresh-squeezed if you can
  • 1 cup (240 ml) coconut water
  • 1 tsp fresh lime juice (optional, for extra brightness)
  • Ice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Pour the coconut water into a glass or jar.
  2. Add the Saltivate Orange stick pack and stir (or seal the jar and shake) until fully dissolved, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add the orange juice and lime juice, if using, and stir to combine.
  4. Fill a glass with ice, pour the drink over, and serve cold.

Serving suggestions and variations

  • Pulp-free orange juice keeps the texture smooth, but fresh-squeezed tastes brightest. Either works.
  • Splitting the batch into two 8 oz glasses gives each one about half a serving of electrolytes (around 400mg sodium). Drink the full 16 oz glass on heavier sweat days.
  • Make it ahead: it keeps covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a quick stir before drinking.

Per serving: about 90 kcal (estimate).
