Some suggestions......
 
* You can buy Pedialyte (try the generic stuff at KMart, WalMart, etc.)
and freeze it in ice cube trays.  Then store in a Zip-lock.  It will last
for a few weeks that way.
 
* Pedialyte (and the generics) are also available in 8 oz. bottles.  You
may have to buy a 4-pack but they usually have a really long expiration
date.  I freeze those in ice cube trays also.
 
* I think you can also get Pedialyte in powder form and mix as much as
you need, but I've never used it.
 
I always keep plain Pedialyte on hand here.  I think Pedialyte is much
better to use than Gatorade.
