I did my ride today with Electromix and sea salt in my water bottle. It tasted a little like unsweetened Gatorade. I didn't find it offensive but my taste buds are accustomed to unsweetened drinks. I was pretty fastidious about supplying my body with carbs throughout the ride since the drink wasn't sweetened.

I was strong during the entire ride with this Electromix/sea salt combo and a reasonable amount of carbs. I'll continue to use it during hot rides. I may mix it with juice for rides of less than 2 hours when I don't really want to take the time to eat during the ride.
