nutrition question

[ToniFranklin]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to cycling (3 weeks)
I've slowly built up to a 25 mile ride.
However when I first did a 20 mile ride I found my energy levels just switched off after 15 miles.
I've been using gels since and haven't had any problems.
However I've been looking at the options available and I've got a question.
If I was to get an energy drink, would I no longer need gels or would the drink and gels work together?

Please help.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
