The full ranking
The blues, the citrus, the classics: every Gatorade flavor ranked by the taste tests that argue about them most.
Glacier Freeze
The definitive blue Gatorade, a light, berry-forward flavor like a melted blue-raspberry slushie thinned with water, refreshing without the syrupy sweetness of bolder flavors.
Orange
Citrusy without being astringent, like a flat, slightly salty orange soda, the reliable jack-of-all-trades flavor that topped The Daily Meal’s ranking.
Glacier Cherry
A Frost-series flavor with a well-balanced, non-medicinal cherry, crisp and refreshing with just enough tartness to win over cherry skeptics.
Lemon-Lime
The original Gatorade flavor and one of the most flavorful, bright citrus leaning more lime than lemon with a faint salty edge.
Fruit Punch
Bright red and among the sweetest, tasting like tropical punch with hints of cherry, citrus, and pineapple. A perennial kid favorite.
Frost Arctic Blitz
Marketed as watermelon-honeydew but reads as a crisp, cool, mild blue flavor, light and refreshing in the vein of Cool Blue.
Fierce Grape
A bold, deep-blue grape flavor, sweet and grape-candy-like and intense, with the signature Gatorade saltiness underneath.
Lemonade
A sweeter, lemonade-leaning take on the citrus profile, pleasant and easy-drinking though not as sharp as Lemon-Lime.
Cool Blue
The bolder, more aggressive blue, punchy artificial berry that is sweeter and more intense than Glacier Freeze, and one of the most iconic flavors in the lineup.
Riptide Rush
A mellow grape-and-mixed-berry flavor, mild and uncontroversial, grapey but restrained enough for those who do not love grape.
