Default Loading Creatine - Specific Times?

I'm beginning to load on Creatine with 20 g per day (5 grams 4 times a day)

My question is: Can I mix the Creatine with some apple juice and drink whenever during the day, with meal or without meal, just as long as I get it in 4 times a day?
Any particular timespan between each serving?

I like to just spoon it directly into my mouth and wash it down with a bit of water.
I would take it first thing in the morning.
with in 1 hour pre workout
immediately PWO
just before bed.

Loading should occur for 5 consecutive days, with individuals consuming 20 grams of creatine daily in 5 gram doses spread 3-4 hours apart. Such feeding protocols have been unequivocally shown to increase muscle creatine content and increase work capacity.

No need to take the creatine with apple juice. you can just spoon it into your mouth and wash it down with water or just mix it in a glass with some hot water and down in there and then.
