TRIP CBD earns mixed reviews and generally delivers refreshing, thoughtfully flavored drinks—Elderflower Mint, Lemon Basil, Peach Ginger—yet its CBD effects range from clearly calming and sleep‑enhancing to barely noticeable or, for a few, overly sedating or unpleasant. Reviews praise the balanced, lightly sparkling profiles and alcohol‑free ritual, but note inconsistent efficacy, occasional bitter or medicinal notes, clunky or bland branding, and an outlier report of drowsiness that raises caution for activities like driving.
Lightly sparkling and with flavor from real fruit juices: grape, strawberry, lemon and sour cherry - erythritol is used for a little extra sweetness - I don’t detect any nasty aftertaste!! Not even the stevia used in it! Well done! Check out the calming add ons that also help with focus.
The flavor is mild, which is good for those of us avoiding cherry flavor because it reminds me of medicine. Chewing the gummy sticks a bit to the teeth, which I wasn't fond of. I didn't really smell or taste the ashwagandha. Overall, the flavor., taste and texture are great, minus the stickiness.
I tried two flavors from Trip: the Raspberry Blossom and the Elderflower Mint. I found these flavors to be light and really refreshing. The drinks are meant to promote calmness, which they did simply because I paused to really savor their unique flavors. The mint reminded me of a non-alcoholic julep (one of my favs). The Blossom was just the right blend of sweet and floral. I quite enjoyed these and would try more. I don’t think the CBD varieties are available locally for me.
I bought Trip drinks last week for the first time, at a supermarket. Although I enjoyed the taste, i had problems sleeping last week, and on Thursday I was feeling very sleepy from 3pm (even that I only had my second drink the day before) and I got sudden sickness.
Still I wasn’t connecting my problems to the drink. But on Friday I had a drink at around 5pm, I enjoyed the flavour and fiziness, but one hour later I felt like a heavy mist in my head, sudden sleepiness but I couldn’t sleep. That’s when I realized I was having side effects from the drink.
I’m amazed that there are no warnings about these effects specially when driving. Very worrying, it’s very dangerous.
I have to throw away the remaining cans.
TRIP CBD Infused offers CBD drinks and oils to promote clarity and happiness.
In their own words
We created TRIP to share a bit of calm in the everyday chaos. CBD experiences that are just as enjoyable to taste as the feeling after. Products with amazing flavour that leave you more productive, less stressed and more you.
We found CBD in 2018 when weeks before our wedding, Dan was injured playing football and needed knee surgery - nightmare. Told he wouldn’t be able to walk down the aisle, we tried everything. He discovered CBD oils were a real game changer - he finally found some calm and got a good night's sleep at last. Against the odds, Dan made an incredible recovery and was last man standing on the dance floor!
We then started using CBD oils for those smaller everyday stresses...loving the results but hating the bitter taste. Our passion for CBD grew, eventually leaving careers in finance and law (sorry mum) to launch TRIP. We designed a CBD range that fits effortlessly into our lives and we hope yours too.
Since launching in 2019, we’ve added two more family members to the business, growing to become the UK’s leading premium CBD brand. Dedicated to sharing only the highest quality products with all of you - so you can relax into your best self. So join us and take a TRIP to Happy Days.
We’ll drink to that.
