Mike's New IM Cocktail Sleeker, Faster, Smoother... These days I use Hammergel products so my IM cocktail creation is quite simplified. I take 9 scoops of Sustained Energy and add a few shots (5) of Hammergel (depending on how your tastes buds are) and I end up with a very nice tasting Cappuccino drink that is worth about 1,000 kcal. The Hammergel products do not contain sugar (very trace amounts) and I don't get any type of a high or low from using them. Typically, I maintain the same energy level throughout the race. You can find the products here: www.e-caps.com or www.hammergel.com I hope this helps you out! Remember, if you don't try it in training, then don't try it on race day.
