You can easily make your own electrolyte drink - it's cheaper than buying pre-made drinks/powders and you can make it as sweet or unsweet as you want. Basic recipe is :1 cup (8 ounces) water, not carbonated
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Small pinch of salt (a teaspoon of salt contains 2,300 milligrams of sodium, so you need 1/20th of a teaspoon of salt—not much)
Flavoring and sweetener to taste (optional). Try Crystal Light Drink Mix, unsweetened Kool Aid, or sugar-free flavored syrups, or stevia or Splenda for "fake" sugar.
