Recess reviews and discussion

Not too bad but not amazing, taste just wasn’t for me.

Recess is my secret weapon for a balanced work day. With its soothing flavors and functional ingredients, it brings tranquility and focus. A refreshing oasis amidst the chaos, empowering me to conquer challenges and stay in tune with my inner peace.

A great alternative to alcohol for a nighttime beverage. I bought Recess for the first time a few years ago to substitute for wine and night and have kept them in stock since. Out of all the flavors I’ve tried there has only been one I don’t like, Raspberry Lemon (I think that’s what it’s called). Their new mock tails are also fantastic, especially the Paloma!

Yummy and a great alcohol alternative

Love the N/A cocktail line, the others aren't my fave.

Haven’t tried a bad flavor! Great alternative to beer or sugar loaded soda. Need to chill out without too strong of a buzz? Recess is the answer. My favorite flavors are the coconut lime and peach ginger.

Recess really does what it says it will. I love how it makes me feel a lil sleepy and relaxed in the best way, and there’s now hangover the next day because it’s non alcoholic. But the best part is that it actually tastes really good. A lot of these kinds of drinks have that weird fake tastes to them but Recess is delicious.

love the concept, love the look, but the drinkability isn't on the same level, and its just not so easily found, so while I would definitely try again, I felt that it fell short of a win on this brand, I tried the pink coral color.

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!

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.

Was in a phase of loving these but had to cut back due to finances. Pretty expensive and I am not sure if it works...

I saw a lot of reviews of Recess and was interested in trying it out. I didn’t think this would be something to replace a cocktail in the evening, but something I could have during the workday since it promises to be calming and lift your mood and good for productivity. I ordered the Citrus Mood Powder and tried it in the afternoon to replace my mid afternoon coffee. I liked the flavor and it was a good alternative to sparkling water. I can’t say it really altered my mood or productivity, but that could be because I didn’t use it consistently to see if there was a difference. If there was it was too subtle to notice. I use it more when I feel like I need a little extra hydration and want a bit of flavor.

I loved the packaging. I got the peach flavor and the test was pretty good, not my favorite. I take CBD every evening and found the effects to be similar if not the same to my evening ritual.

The taste is mediocre, but the calmness is palpable.

love the flavors and branding!

I prefer this over Kin! Tastier and more flavor options available that are also great as bases for mocktails. Unsure if the adaptogens are as effective on these, I didn't feel any changes.

I really like the idea of this beverage, but I’m not sold on the flavor. I have tried Blood Orange and Black Cherry so far and they seem a bit mild and bland. On the flip side, I’m glad the flavor is not overpowering. Great idea but hoping they elaborate or revamp their flavors.

Recess tastes just okay – a bit bland to my liking. However, the most dissapointing factor is that I didn't really notice any effect from it.

Tastes great, and I actually feel more relaxed! It helped me stay calm and focus during a heavy day at work.

These taste good, but I didn't really notice any effect. They're also pretty expensive for what it is.
