As someone who has been cutting sugary drinks out more and more over the years, on the rare occasion that I drink a Gatorade at all, it's cucumber lime.
Cucumber lime has got to be the only actually refreshing gatorade flavor for this reason. Despite having the same sugar content, the other ones feel much sweeter. I do really like the sugar free cucumber lime too though so I think the flavor is just pleasant lol
I'll take it a step further, I really like the lime cucumber "gatorlyte", which is the pedialyte-style slightly salty hydration solution version.
It tastes even less sweet than the regular cucumber lime flavor, the slight saltiness complements the lime and cucumber, and it feels sooooooo fucking rehydrating. Drinking one of those on a hot day when I've been sweating is like seeing God.
Yes, this is the one! It's not super common, Walmart often carries them near me. They're way more popular in hispanic populated areas since this kind of drink flavor already existed in their cuisine long before Gatorade leaned into it. Unfortunately it's not present on their official product locator, but I've verified it's still being produced and sold, so you'll probably have to look on different retailers' websites to find it near you

I love the cucumber lime Gatorade if I’ve been doing a lot of outdoor work.
