One friend mixes it up in a very concentrated gel-like slurry and consumes it out of a gel bottle, with good results.

What has worked well for me on long rides is a drink called Spiz - similar to Perpetuem, but the ingredients in Spiz work much better for me than those in Perpetuem. At least they did a couple of years ago when I last tried Perpetuem.

I think Spiz still has to be purchased directly from the manufacturer, but Randy will send you a free sample.
