It's suppose to be about 85 degrees, this is warmer than it has been here.
Personally I prefer the berry flavors if I go that route. What kind of hydration pack do you have? My stock Camelbak bladder I will only put water in because it is so blasted hard to clean. I have a separate "Vaude" bladder that fits my Camalbak pack that I use for non-water. It is quite easy to clean. The plastic can take the flavor of anything other than water, though I've found if I am able to clean it well that it isn't a problem.
