Leilo | Kava Powered Sparkling Relaxation Drink | Variety Sampler 6-Pack - Non-Alc Calming Beverage - Includes (3) Classic & (3) Mocktail Flavors | 12 fl oz Cans (Pack of 6)

Smooth and great flavor.

Just sparkling water, that's all.This is, it didn't make me feel calm and relaxed or anything.It's just a bunch of c***

Highly effective and the least gross tasting kava I've ever tried. For comparison, top notch hand-filtered kava root is still stronger than any of these mocktail varieties, yet Leilo almost tastes decent as opposed to tasting like lidocaine-laced mud soup. Leilos are the only mocktails that I drink, the other ones don't have close to enough kavalactone extract (these ones have 1000mg). Blackberry Orange, Pina Colada, and Lime Margarita are my favorites. 4/5 instead of 5/5 only due to the high price. Please give me a means to buy a more affordable 24, 48, or 96 pack.

I'm not sure how I found Leilo Calm in a Can. I guess my Amazon algorithm conjured it up and placed it strategically somewhere where I would be sure to stumble upon it and I did. - Let me tell you, the taste is like nothing else I have experienced, heretofore. The Citric Acid (4th on the list of "other" ingredients) (Filtered water being the first) (Oh! Thank GOD they filter that WATER!!!) is stringent, giving the elixir the taste of, well, a cross between electrified Kool-Aid and (oh so very) vague battery acid. I LOVE IT! But, I'm weird like that. Weird and of strong stomach lining. My cherished other-half, can't handle it. (Hee hee hee. More for me) He's trying to hatch an ulcer, poor lamb. (Is it because he married ... moi?) If you're endeavoring to hatch an ulcer, don't sip this libation. Just wait until you're better. - Anyway ... I bought the variety pack. Chilled the costly cans for a couple of days before trying the stuff. After dinner, I reached into the fridge and picked one at random. (Told you I'm weird.) That first mystery flavor was ... Pina Colada. It wasn't very Pina Colada-y, but, as one strong of stomach lining, and with an adventuresome spirit, I got through it, pretending it tasted MUCH better than it, in (boring, stupid) reality, did. Soon thereafter, I felt pleasantly relaxed and went beddy bye. - And I WHAT???? I SLEPT! (I WHAT??) I S.L.E.P.T.!!! - All night! - I even slept through the ubiquitous night-time presence of our 20-pound cat (Marshmallow) who apparently believes I'm made of eider down and subsequently uses me for a mattress or, at least a lounge pillow, causing my body temperature to rise to a level akin to a three-toed dragon in full menopause. (Three-toed dragon in full menopause? - Why does THAT imagine come to mind?) (I guess I need a therapist) Not ONLY did I sleep through said hugeonic cat using my person as his NEST, I slept through the OTHER (albeit much lighter ) kitty WALKING on my shoulders and head on her way to a better sleep situation. - Yes, this has been going for a LONG time. Why, you ask? Why not? I haven't been able to sleep since before those two felines were glints in their Papa's eyes anyway. I haven't slept since ... I don't know when. UNTIL, discovering Leilo Calm in a Can. - I slept soundly, peacefully AND I dreamt dreams! - Happy, Easter Bunny dreams where I was more popular than my (much) older sister and my teeth were as white as they were when I was 16. - And I awoke in the morning all refreshed ... like a real human being. And guess what? I slept beautifully the next night as well. After a few days, I decided it was again time to reach into the old fridge and randomly grab another can of Leilo. This time, the flavor was Blackberry Orange (which is considerably better tasting than le Pina Colada). And I SLEPT and dreamed dreams AGAIN! A few days later, I reached in and pulled out a can of Sparkling Lemon Ginger. (Repeat story here.) I'm presently on my way to randomly grab yet another can of restful slumber. And am planning on returning to my long lost talent of lucid dreaming. Yes, yes. Soon, I'll be flying to Dubai to find some exquisite *nan-e-nokhodchi before visiting London and whoooshing past Big Ben to say "Hello and Pip pip Cheerio!" on my way to Kauai to night surf. - I can just taste that *divine hint of cardamon, pistachios and rose water now. - All this at only 10 grams of carbs per serving (12 FL) of Leilo - Nighty night, y'all! Sweet dreams. (P.S. When looking up the correct spelling of Kool-Aid, (oh hush!) I discovered there's something known as KOOL-AID PIE!!!!! - Stay turned for next review! Or at least, next dream. Because we ALL know I can't cook!)

I’ve been trying a lot of different “alcohol alternatives” lately in attempts to reduce my alcohol intake and test the waters with sobriety and was really excited to try these. The taste is great in my opinion especially if you like sparking water or anything with more of an earthy, muted taste. In comparison to other drinks I’ve tried like this one actually did make me feel a sense of calmness and it felt more like a mock tail on its own rather than having to mix it with something else. On the other hand I can’t help but pin point my most recent migraine stretch to consuming these. I am not one to get head aches often but over the last three days I had a headache that got gradually worse. I had one of these 2/3 of the nights with no other changes in my diet/exercise/sleep/etc. routine and can only link it to the fact that I had drank these. After searching there are certain ingredients that can cause headaches especially in a situation of taking in more than you used to, specifically the L-Theanine. Not bashing these at all just warning others to drink with caution and maybe start with half a glass before trying to drink a can one night after the other.

I wanted to try a drink that had kava in it as I find it to be very helpful to calm down by kind and body. I don’t mind if the effect is mild, I just wanted a light seltzer style beverage and thought it’d be nice to try in the spring and summer during an outing. I had a really difficult time trying to ingest half of a single can. It has both cane sugar AND stevia in it. (I do not like the taste of very much of it at all. It is way too pungent.) Some of the flavors were okay-ish but a few were completely undrinkable to be. Honestly, the price is very, very high for the product. It hurt my stomach and made me really nauseous. I like kava tea and was hoping it’d be flavored to mix in flavors to mask and mix but these are so sweet, I’ll just make tea. If you like the flavor, I don’t see how these could still be the price that they are. I don’t feel like these should be over $15-$20 with both effects and ingredients.

The drinks are enjoyable on their own or you can mix them to make mocktails. If you’re making mocktails, you can pour the Kava drinks (half a can is fine) then use whatever else you plan to mix it with per glass.

I was very excited for these drinks to arrive. After two drinks I didn’t feel any type of relaxation. I wouldn’t have been as disappointed if they taste good but they flavor was so bad I had to force myself to finish the cans because I wanted to relaxed. Not worth the money spent.
