DRAM reviews and discussion

Honestly the ethics are what keep me coming back as much as the products. No outside investors, no hidden ingredients, no greenwashing. Just a small business doing it the hard way because it's the right way. They grow and forage their own ingredients, they compost their waste, they cut plastic wherever they can - my cans come in boxes, and they are transparent about all of it in an industry that has made opacity its default setting. They hold the line on the values they are clearly committed to. And I share those values which is why I am here. That's not a marketing strategy. That's character. I already left a review on the mushroom cola because it's my holy grail and I couldn't help myself. But this brand deserves recognition beyond any single product. This brand is built by people who actually care. You can feel it. Support brands like this. Loudly and often!!

I found this brand and never looked back. Shae and Brady forage wild plants to make these drinks and that philosophy runs through everything they make. The mushroom cola is my holy grail — four adaptogenic mushrooms, real botanicals, literal mycelia magic in a can. It tastes like someone reimagined cola from scratch and actually got it right. The Colorado Summer is wild foraged spruce, elderberries, rosehips, and vanilla. You're drinking the actual mountains. The CBD ginger and lemongrass, the pine syrup — not a single miss across any of it. And then there's the horsetail hair oil. My hair is shinier and healthier than it's been in years and I get compliments on it constantly. I have some of these ingredients at home and I promise they did not do this on their own. Whatever magic they're doing over there in Colorado is working. Every ingredient is on the label. No 'natural flavors,' nonsense with this company - which I appreciate so much. They are holding the line on things I hope the rest of the industry remembers are worth holding. It's rare and I hope it starts becoming more common. Sending all my California love straight to Colorado for this one. The real owners of this company are Lefty and Pepe — two absolutely adorable dogs with a very prominent and very deserved presence on the DRAM Instagram. Shae and Brady are pretty great too. Shae also posts ghost stories on her highlights and that alone is reason enough to follow her. Just buy it all. You won't regret it.

I love the adaptogenic sparking waters from DRAM, lavendar & lemon balm being my absolute favorite. I have recently tried and compared the CBD sparking water sampler 12pack and was not as impressed as I hoped. I have previously purchased several of the CBD drops, my favorite being Big Mood. This dropper bottle is also a company favorite. A little dropper bottle goes a long way! I prefer my CBD concentrated in a quick dose because it does not leave a great aftertaste in the drink.

I bought the multipack online and loved each and every one! Overall, they are super refreshing but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be the Beauty Bubbles CBD water (so good after a long flight!) and the Lavender and Lemon Balm Herbal water. It's really hard for me to find sparkling water that I enjoy. I like to taste my water if it has a flavor in it so I shocked myself when I went out on a limb to order every flavor. I drink the water for the flavor as the CBD doesn't do too much for me. If I want a kick of CBD, I usually put in a few drops of Pepulum's CBD oil - super delicious in the Citrus and Blossom! I've been loving these pop up more around in shops and stores and hope to see them continue to grow!

I haven't tried the ones with CBD, but I've tried Citrus & Blossoms and Cardamom Black Tea. Honestly, blown away by how delicious both were! I thought it would be a so-so type of sparkling water. Boy, was I wrong. They're elegantly flavored, refreshing, and love that I get to drink something so good for my body. Huge fan.

We’re much better than I was expecting (taste wise). Interesting flavors. Didn’t really feel relaxed or feel any cbd affects though.

Really interesting flavored seltzer. I'm not a fan of cbd enhanced products in general because they contain such a small amount of cbd that I can't image they have any heath outcome... I just drink these because they are some of the healthiest tastiest canned drinks out there.

Really subtle and sort of nuanced flavors, which I could see not being for everyone-- I really like them though! They're almost botanical. They're definitely on the pricier side for a sparkling water so these feel like more of an elevated treat than what I'd reach for for hydration.

I enjoy the simple packaging, makes it feel immediately luxurious, although I can't say the same about the flavoring... I understand that it is sparkling waters, but I find that the flavors are too muted... like.. tooo muted. I also didn't really notice a difference with the CBD. It was fun to try!

Really good, love the cardamom and black tea flavor!

Not really sure about the CBD effects of this, but the Gingergrass CBD sparkling water is one of my favorite sparking waters in general. It has a very different taste than any sparkling water I have ever had - more flavorful and "potent" than any La Croix you will ever have. Similar flavor potency to a Spindrift, with much more interesting flavors. My only gripe is that I wish they were easier to find in person!

Pretty good flavors albeit too sweet for me. Don’t know that the functional benefits are there.

I've only tried the CBD sparkling waters but they're very tasty: lightly flavored and refreshing. Also love their packaging design.

Dram is one of my go to drinks when I see it in any store. The flavors are so unique and the branding is so calming. A little pricy but worth it!

I love Dram. My favorite flavor is Sweetgrass, one of their sparkling waters with CBD. It's completely unsweetened with the essence of Sweetgrass. The Beauty Bubbles are also excellent. I sometimes add a splash of red wine in them for a relaxing, low-alcohol drink. Another favorite product of mine is their Palo Santo Bitters. I most often use them in Topo Chico and have also used them in cocktails. This company is committed to sustainability and I really appreciate that.

I'm truly surprised that this brand has so many great reviews. I've tried multiple flavors and find them all to be a bit lacking, and feel that most LaCroix's have more oomph. Maybe I haven't tried the right flavor to hit the spot but at this point I wouldn't recommend them to a friend as they seem expensive for what they are (for the record I've tried, Holy basil and lemon, black tea and cardamom and Palo Santo).

Really innovative sparkling water flavors in zen packaging - love the cardamom black tea in particular

I first tried this brand when I was visiting Denver. I was so excited because I had wanted to try their stuff, but wasn’t ready to make a whole order online. Anyway- the cinnamon apple vinegar CBD tonic was amazing. It has a hint of vinegar but nothing overwhelming. I immediately ordered a sampler when I got home, and love those too. The lavender lemon balm bitters are awesome as well. In general, I really like bitter, floral, or “weird” tasting drinks so these are right up my alley. I’ll definitely order more when I have run out.

This is the best partner you can have for a Dry January!! I love a glass of wine or a cocktail to take me out of work mode and into relax mode. The DRAM drops / bitters do that for me, and they add a sophistication I haven't found even in alcohol bitters.

In my opinion the Dram beverages are just okay. The CBD sparkling water has a bit of an odd taste to me and I didn’t really feel any calming effect that CBD usually has. I think the packaging is cute and the idea is nice but I would rather have the cheaper sparkling water option.
