I mean, I’m not a theologist or anything, but based on other precedents, if someone was dying and what to be baptized at the last second, and no source of water could be arranged on time, the Gatorade baptism would probably be accepted by the Catholic church.
Transubstantiation of Gatorade into Holy Water doesn’t even sound that outrageous when priests claim to transubstantiate wine to blood on a daily basis.
I just checked and it seems that unfortunately not. At least catholic Priests are only allowed to bless “true water”, which is usually understood to mean that nothing was purposely added to it (with the exception of certain salts for rituals like exorcism).

This seems to mean that priests can theoretically make any liquid holy, thereby making holy Gatorade.

So is tap water okay, or only where it isn’t fluoridated? What about sea water ? Heavy water ? Rain water ?
