  • Good mocktail. I started buying the strawberry rose because I liked the look of the can, the flavor and the ingredients. I liked it poured over ice in a stemless wine glass. It’s a fun mocktail and has adaptogens and magnesium! I’ll continue to buy them and replace alcoholic drinks with these instead.

  • To me, they're just okay. They taste a lot like water with a smidge hint of the flavor. I personally wouldn't purchase it but if its available at someone's party or office for free, I'd enjoy it. I'm not entirely sure I felt the effects of this either. Love the branding though!

  • cool! can't say i will buy this with my own money but ive had it before and it was good. getting sick of the adaptogens and healthy soda trend tho YAWWWWNNN but this was an early adopter so i will give them that

  • It might be a placebo effect kind of thing but I really love these, especially the ones with magnesium which I drink when I am anxious and/or stressed as I feel like they help calm me down. Pros: - Great taste - Functional (again, though possibly placebo) Cons: - Expensive

  • i see these all the time at the grocery outlet and decided to give it a go. i must say the flavor is certainly one to be acquired but if you take into account that it's good for you, then overrall its worth it

  • This stuff is fine. I was curious because I see it everywhere so I splurged. It tastes kind of weird and did not "calm my mind" or "boost my mood." Probably won't be buying again but maybe if it's on sale.

  • I like the fun colored cans and the Matt finish on them. I like the variety of flavors and I like that. It is a healthy alternative to a regular pop. I feel healthy and refreshed after I’m done drinking.

  • Thanks for a good nonalcoholic alternative drinks, the canned preserves, a fresh and crisis and carbonated flavorful I was really impressed with the wide variety of flavor options prominent tastedrinks

  • This drink has become my new go-to for unwinding! The delicate fizz and nuanced flavors – the Black Cherry and Peach Ginger were particularly delightful – offer a truly refreshing experience without any cloying sweetness. What impressed me most was the subtle shift I felt afterwards: a genuine sense of calm washed over me, coupled with a surprising clarity of mind. While my personal taste leaned towards some flavors more than others, the overall quality and the noticeable relaxation benefits make this well worth exploring. Yes, it's a bit of an investment, but the natural ingredients and the tranquility it provides feel like money well spent.

  • Not sure I wanted to like this stuff, but I am also always looking for a way to drink more water and have it be interesting so I try a lot of different sparkling waters. I think the hemp was really effective.

  • Maybe better for those who don’t love a super sweet drink. It’s a good nonalcoholic alternative and their rosé cans are nice.

  • I've really enjoyed the few times I've had this sparkling water. The flavors have always been light and just the right amount of fizz. It's healthy and low calorie but still feels like I'm drinking soda. Also it's great that it has additional health benefits like the adaptogens which I definitely notice and give me a sense of calm.

  • I love the simple but elegant design of the cans. I usually save these for unwinding time after a long day at work. I put on a show or some music, grab a can and just chillax on the couch, maybe even take an evening nap!

  • I like how subtle the flavor is, not too strong, but not faint enough that you feel like you're just drinking plain water. I didn't necessarily notice the calming effects, but I did really like having an alternative to plain water or soda.

  • Firstly, I love the packaging. This makes me want to grab them, as they are super relaxing just to look at. I find the hemp taste to be nonexistent, no earthiness. It just tastes like a nice sweet drink.

  • Wasn’t a big fan of the brand, there’s lot of other drinks I enjoy more like te pache or even spindrift, that’s a good drink, this just tasted so sweet and just not my favorite drink ya know! That’s all

  • I am a die hard fan of the blood orange mood canned drink. I have been on a journey to find soda alternatives, and to me this is the perfect replacement to Orangina. Very crisp taste and the perfect level of carbonation. I don't really notice a "calm" effect when I drink it, but I also don't choose this drink for that reason. Reasonably priced considering the cost of soda alternatives.

  • I tried the mocktail and just thought it was ok. I thought it was a bit pricey for what you got and the flavor was a bit odd to me. I didn't think there was anything that was a particular standout about the product.
