At backpacking stores, e.g. REI, you can find these tubes about the size 
of a giant toothpaste tube. They are open on one end with a cap on the 
other. You fill them and put the clamp device on the open end that seals 
it. You just unscrew the cap, put the stuff in a syringe and have at it. 
They meant for carrying stuff like peanut butter, jelly, etc. on 
backpacking trips. The do a pretty good job with mixed electrolytes.

However, I just reuse Lite Now single dose syringes. They are small, the 
caps are pretty secure and if you don't think so just put on some duct 
tape and they last a long time.
