Recess earns mixed reviews: the brand delivers light, refreshing flavors, sleek packaging, and for many a subtle calming effect, yet it polarizes on taste intensity and the consistency of functional benefits. Reviews praise Strawberry Rose, Blood Orange, Peach Ginger, Blackberry Chai, and coconut lime, but cite faint or medicinal flavors, occasional aftertaste, low carbonation, and uneven “mood” effects—leaving some to view it as elevated seltzer rather than a reliably functional drink.

love black cherry and grapefruit!
I didnt feel anything moodwise, but it was tasty!
My second favorite drink brand
Loved them all!!!!
Grapefruit Tangerine Mood was equivalent to a Grapefruit Spindrift. No real effect but nice sparkling water.
A great alcohol alternative (as someone who doesn’t drink!), lots of options and cute cans. Would buy again for sure!
The ultimate love brand. Unmet branding and design. Great but very light flavors. Slight effect.

I didn't feel an effect at all, and the Cbd oil really left an interesting coating on the tongue. Not a fan.
I think I felt somewhat relaxed and clear-headed, but it was hard to really point fingers on the results. I had the pomegranate hibiscus, which tasted good–not too sweet, but very refreshing. Was $6 I must mention, which made me feel slightly less relaxed.
Good taste, doesn’t really make a difference.
Feedback
More flavors and potency.
I love the packaging and the concept, but the aftertaste bugs me to the point where I can't drink more than a few sips.
I wouldn't go out of my way to buy these, but they are delicious. I don't notice a huge impact from the CBD.

Recess tastes good to me, with a minimal funky after-taste, but isn't super memorable that I seek it out, either.
Feedback
The flavor is a bit muted; I'm not sure I could describe a distinctive Recess taste.
I've tried a few of the flavors, and I think they're pretty good. I also think the can design and branding are great.
Feedback
I like the concept overall, but I do think there are better tasting / more flavorful options out there.
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
