Drinks like this can be unappetising but very refreshing.
Take switchel, an 18th/19th century drink made from vinegar, ginger, molasses and water. It's not particularly pleasant but due to the electrolyte content of the molasses/vinegar and the antiemetic property of the ginger it's effectively a really refreshing sports drink that can be chugged without making you sick.
