Seltzers have reached mainstream popularity and unsurprisingly have become a regular choice for CBD infusions. Their popularity has reached the point of mass-produced beverages available at nearly every smoke shop and most gas stations. Rhythm CBD is one of the natural CBD seltzer brands that we’ve found online via Instagram.
You may have already seen my unboxing of their four-pack and subsequent review of the “Awake” Grapefruit Rosemary Seltzer. Today, I’m talking about their Blackberry Lavender (Dream) flavor.
All Rhythm CBD Seltzers contain natural flavors and broad-spectrum CBD, are non-GMO, and vegan friendly. The “Dream” Blackberry Lavender flavor comes with 15mg of CBD, and a pleasant addition of 5mg of melatonin. The addition of melatonin along with the berry flavors makes this seem like a great drink for winding down the day.
With only seven total ingredients listed on the label, you have to admire the simplicity of what Rhythm CBD is offering with this potentially sleep-inducing drink. Not to mention this is a sugar-free low-calorie beverage, sitting at only five calories total per can.
Initial Taste Test
I pulled a frosty glass from the freezer and began to pour Rhythm’s Blackberry Lavender seltzer and was immediately hit with some floral and berry aromas. The color of the seltzer naturally had a light purple hue to it that got darker the more I poured. Knowing this drink had the addition of melatonin made me excited to potentially chill out hard.
On the first sip, it has a sour sweetness with hints of herbaceous berries. I can easily pick up the blackberry in the aroma upon cracking it open. The lavender aftertaste makes this drink come off more herbal in flavor than what you’d expect. As a former soda and energy drink fiend, I enjoy the seltzer’s prominent flavor. The lack of calories and sugar makes for a healthier beverage.
On top of it all, you can’t taste any presence of the CBD. This made it go down smooth, like any other lightly flavored seltzer. As time got closer to an hour, I found some slightly noticeable effects taking hold. My eyelids began to feel slightly heavier. This made the idea of heading off to bed after finishing some of my work sound that much more enticing. This particular CBD beverage might be perfect for anyone that’s looking for an edible before bed that you don’t need to chew.
Conclusion
As an official entry of our third annual West Coast Weed Tour, I gave the beverage an initial score of 9 out of 10. I then used that number to scale it out for the West Coast Weed Tour competition rating system that you’ll find below. This infused beverage containing melatonin is unique because you can usually only find that in CBD gummies. Stay tuned for the rest of my reviews from Rhythm CBD’s delectable infused seltzers.
