Recess reviews and discussion

Love the taste and branding, but I've never noticed any effect. So it's just super expensive sparkling water as far as I am concerned.

They don't taste that amazing, but the feeling is nice. Definitely on the stronger side. I can't drink a full can without feeling a bit unlike myself -- "clarity and balance" is not the feeling. More like feeling a bit intoxicated, which is fine if that's what you're going for.

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

I love the Recess brand—the packaging is eye-catching and stylish. The taste, however, takes some getting used to. Despite this, I'm eager to keep trying it because everything else about it is fantastic.

I love these - super tasty and I do feel a little more chilled out/relaxed after drinking. The coconut and blackberry chai are my favorites.

I love the taste as well as how chill they make me feel. It's definitely perfecr for a good relaxing moment after work.

Not for me in terms of flavor and it didn’t make me feel any sort of way

I enjoyed the black cherry flavor! I love it, it's a fun treat.

I like Recess! Super subtle flavors and cute packaging. I don’t necessarily feel anything from it so it’s not something I reach for often.

Pretty good! I have enjoyed the Recess beverages I've tried but they're not necessarily my go-to.

Recess is a great beverage alternative to La Croix. Although I don't really feel a "euphoric effect" like I do with a Kin spritz. But I do feel a very subtle calm after drinking. I mostly use Recess as a drink mixer before a stand alone beverage. If you're looking for a more calm/chill effect I'd recommend Vybes over Recess any day.

I am a big fan of recess and if I could have one everyday, I would! I was an early adopter of this product and I think that they might have changed their formulas since I tried them a few years back. Some friends say that the product has no effect but I find that it works for me when I’m intentional about using the product and aware of my environment and setting. The flavors are yummy, but again, not everyone’s favorite. I always get the variety pack to switch things up!

Seemed to work okay- I like to drink one before flights or if I'm really stressed out. I appreciate that they are easy to find and that you can trust their quality- which is certainly a concern with over the counter CBD products. Great branding that makes me feel calm just buying one!

They were the first(?) CBD seltzer. I felt pretty good after drinking it?

Love the taste and the effects were quick

I love their magnesium drinks! Tastes delicious and chills me out. Also, unrelated to product but I'm also obsessed with how clever their branding and Instagram is. Love the concept and the taste, highly recommend.

Just ok, honestly. The flavors are average and they don't do what they advertise in my opinion so I wouldn't purchase these on my own, but happy to grab a free one when they're giving them out at doctor's offices and the like.

Recess Strawberry Rose is my go-to drink for winding down or staying cool during a busy day. The flavor is perfectly balanced—lightly sweet with subtle floral notes that feel refreshing and unique. It’s like a little spa day in a can! I love that it’s infused with adaptogens and hemp extract, which help me feel calm and focused without any weird aftertaste. It’s the perfect alternative to sugary drinks when I want something light and uplifting. If you’re looking for a delicious, stress-free sip, Recess Strawberry Rose is a must-try. Highly recommend!

Flavor was okay, I got blood orange and did not really think it was mindblowing. As for the effects, I dont know if it was placebo, but I did feel "lighter" while drinking it.

Love the taste! And LOVE how relaxed and up-beat it makes me feel.
