Doing sprints after weight training (especially legs) will probably lead to less than steller sprint performance. You might choose to do them at another time or on the weekend, but I'll leave that for you to sort out.
Have your recovery drink at the conclusion of your combined session. Besides the discomfort of having all of that fluid pooled in your stomach, you're still exercising, so digestion will not be a top priority for the body. And what is has the potential to be used to fuel the exercise and not fuel recovery.
