Water is the most abundant natural resource on the planet. Water is also tasteless. If you are taking creatine monohydrate, odds are it is tasteless as well. So wouldn't it be logical to take creatine with a class of water this way you don't have to deal with the awful taste in your mouth? Well, that is not necessarily the case.
Research has shown that grape juice contains simple sugars that cause insulin to be released into the body. Insulin production is necessary to help transport to creatine into the muscle fibers. Just because creatine works well with grape juice, do not assume it works with all juices. Creatine mixed with citrus juices, such as orange juice, can be rendered useless because it will be converted to createinine which the body can not use.
Creatine Protein
Another option is to take creatine with Gatorade or other sports drinks. Sports drinks are loaded with electrolytes and help replace everything the body loses during an intense workout. If you plan on mixing creatine with Gatorade, it is recommended that you do it in the Gatorade powder form, not the pre bottled stuff. Gatorade powder has dextrose in it which helps replenish electrolytes.
What you mix your creatine in also depends on the flavor you buy. Supplement drinks can taste awful depending on the flavors and liquids you mix. You do not want to mix chocolate flavored creatine with grape juice. And you do not want to mix citrus flavored creatine with Gatorade. If you buy flavored creatine it would be best to mix it with water to help retain the flavor.
As far as mixing creatine with protein, there seem to be some conflicting reports. Some experts encourage it, while others oppose. The experts who approve the mix say the protein helps with creatine absorption. The people who oppose say that creatine and protein use the same transport and that they will compete with each other once in the body. The best way to figure it out is to try it yourself to see what works best. Start off with taking creatine before your workout, and protein after your work out.

Twinlab 100% Whey Protein Fuel, Chocolate Surge, 5 Pound Overview
100-percent Whey Protein Fuel is a dietary supplement that contains 50 grams protein (2 servings) and is naturally and artificially flavored. This supplement stimulates muscle growth and improves post-workout recovery. It is a premier concentrate that is 100-percent instantized, quick dissolving and easy-to-mix with a rich, refreshing chocolate flavor. Stimulates muscle protein anabolism, which maximizes muscle growth that occurs after exercise, by enhancing muscle building and lean tissue mass.Clinical studies show that 100-percent whey protein is one of the most anabolic muscle building proteins available, providing a rapid drive of amino acids to skeletal muscle tissue, thereby increasing the anabolic effects of weight training. Enhanced muscle protein anabolism increase muscle growth, to maximize gains. Research also shows that 100-percent Whey Protein has one of the highest protein qualities of all proteins (as measured by the Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score), and has one of the highest protein efficiency ratios, providing more amino acids than most other proteins.
