  • Subtle, calming mood effect
  • Satisfying alcohol-free ritual
  • Frequent headache side effects
  • Inconsistent flavor intensity
  • Occasional nausea and bloating

hiyo earns mixed reviews: many users report a gentle, immediate calm or “float” that helps replace an evening drink, while a significant number experience no effect or develop headaches, nausea, or stomach upset. Reviews praise refreshing, not-too-sweet flavors like Watermelon Lime, Blackberry Lemon, and Peach Mango and elegant branding, but note inconsistent flavor intensity, sediment in Peach Mango, and a tendency to feel bloated or dehydrated.

  • No “float”, just bloat. Tried one can two days in a row with dinner. Both times led to nausea and bloating. Something in here does NOT agree with my system.

    Feedback

    Warning may cause stomach distress.

  • Didn't make me feel any different, zero. The taste is very watered down and bland. I drank about 1 1/2 cans and just feel bloated. I'll stick to a CBD gummy and water. 😏

    Feedback

    Boulder taste and less fuzz.

  • A tasty alternative to a cocktail but definitely doesn’t deliver on its marketing claim to “float”. It’s a slightly carbonated expensive juice. Definitely a one time buy for me (except I bought 24😂). Didn’t hate it, but also didn’t love it. Just not worth the price.

  • Read the real reviews not the fake 5 star ones!!! Don’t waste your money !!! It’s a scam does, nothing but gave me a headache and made me feel like crap !!! Don’t drink this crap!!! A lot of people are getting headaches from it

    It does nothing this product is bull crap!!!!

  • I recommmend Hiyo if you enjoy an evening cocktail but don’t want to consume alcohol. A friend introduced me to the products and I am hooked. I enjoy the taste and relaxation qualities. I am telling friends about it now. It’s a perfect drink on a weekday evening while I make dinner or relax with a book!

  • Did nothing for me except give me a headache. No float feeling. Complete waste of money. Don’t bother and save your money for something else.

  • My husband and I both had 2 each. The drink upset our stomach and caused a major headache. The company does not accept returns per their website. So be cautious before buying. Also, we did feel slightly calmer after one drink, but nothing but stomach upset and headache after the second one…which then caused anxiety. So bottom line…. Product doesn’t work and makes you sicker.

  • Hiyo- first one you do feel a slight sense of calmness and by the time you get to the third one, maybe slightly more calm but fully awakened- but not enough of a difference between one and drink three to have to drink three. Also a tinge of a headache starts between one and two- but not bad. However, calmness is no diff from a wine buzz just without the sleepiness. It would take less wine to get there and the wine would def taste better. And at that time of the night I would rather have the wine sleepiness. Also, it’s quite expensive, $15, to get to the “float”. Overall, not recommend.

  • All three drinks taste great!! Big fan! The watermelon lime is probably my favorite! I love that it’s slightly carbonated; it makes it a versatile beverage. I was a bartender for 10 years and wish that this product existed during that time. Would have been a great drink to offer as a mock tail to my customers who weren’t drinking.

  • I was surprised to see how often hiyo replaced a glass of wine, spritz, or even an afternoon spindrift. It's bubbly but not too bubbly, flavorful and subtly sweet, not too sweet, and comes with the best floaty, elevated, present feeling that primes me for the evening, the beach, or an important meeting.

    I was going to say make it more bubbly, but they did that with their second production run and now the bubbles are perfect. I wouldn't mind more flavors though! Watermelon Lime is definitely my favorite followed by Blackberry Lemon and Peach Mango. I'm excited to see what they come up with next.
