Recess is a delicious and refreshing drink. I enjoy it to get me through my busy day. I am a caregiver and it helps keep me focused and calm.
I think the brand is excellent as it is already!
Taste is great! I’m not sure about the intended effects… could be placebo effect, or maybe I needed to try it out for longer than a case. Either way, delicious, but I didn’t feel any different.
I love Recess, another brand I would love to have at Wear Many Hats events. I ran into one of their vans that give out Recess and they hooked it up with all the flavors. Great brand, great taste. It relaxes me.
Tasty and love that the brand is transparent.
I love Recess. They have wonderful flavors and I always feel calm and relaxed after drinking. I do not like all of their flavors but that is all preference!
Perhaps this drink was best consumed while sober, but nevertheless my experience was as follows: I tried the pomegranate hibiscus drink and I could definitely taste the hibiscus, but I don’t mean that in a great way… not in a bad way either, but it just felt too grassy to be enjoyed. I loved the can and was excited to try it out bc I am easily influenced by cute packaging but it was just okay. I would try different flavors!
The flavors are a hit or miss for me- the peach one is my absolute fave! I don't really feel relaxed or chilled out after. If anything, it might be a placebo. It's a nice drink if you want to treat yourself but don't want to grab a sugary drink or soda, but I'm not fiending for it or going out of my way to buy a case.
The flavors are good, but I don't think I'm fully with the hype yet with the high price point.
I was intrigued by the idea of a drink that promised to calm my mind and boost my mood, so when I first tried it, I had high hopes. Unfortunately, I have to say that it just didn't live up to my expectations. While it was a decent enough sparkling water, it didn't have the unique, game-changing qualities that I was hoping for.
