Gatorade does not freeze from the middle to the outside as you have said. So I would not worry about it. For that to happen, the temperature would have to be much lower in the middle of the bottle than on the outside. Much lower because of the added cold needed for phase change. And as we have learned from the second law of thermodynamics, heat flows from warm to cold. So if the Gatorade is in the freezer, and it is in liquid phase it will give up its heat to the surrounding freezer, starting from the outside closest to the cold and conducting in, towards the center, and from the bottom. But not in the middle out.

It probably has components that crystallize at low temperature. A solution that is "salting out" will show crystals in the center or top, and it is possible that parts of the Gatorade are forming salt crystals. I've never tried this experiment; it sounds interesting.
