Kool-Aid postwork drink??

alright so i've read in many places the need for simple carbs after a workout to help replenish glycogen stores and helps blunt cortisol by giving you an insulin surge. There's always gatorade but that can get expensive. I've also been taking Cell-tech which has dextrose (sugar) but also has a bunch of other crap like creatine. I'm trying to stay off the creatine.

Soooo, I looked into kool-aid because they actually use sugar and not high fructose corn syrup or else i'd be drinking soda postworkout. Any thoughts on this?
