TRIP Elderflower Mint CBD Drink Review

As the functional beverage landscape grows, TRIP has managed to cement itself as a massive favorite by creating highly approachable, lifestyle-focused functional drinks. Their Elderflower Mint variation blends carbonated water with real fruit juices and premium botanicals, aiming to provide a stress-free alternative to traditional alcoholic evening drinks.

In the glass, the liquid shows off a lightly carbonated, clear profile that looks beautifully clean and inviting. The aroma is highly pleasing from the start, delivering bright, aromatic bursts of freshly picked garden mint tied together with the soft sweetness of floral elderflower.

On the palate, it is incredibly successful as a pure refreshment option. The sparkling mint baseline hits first, cutting through with clean energy before mellowing out into the delicate, floral sweetness of elderflower. It avoids any heavy, bitter hemp tastes, making it highly drinkable for those new to CBD drinks.

While the actual calming or “zen” effects of the 10mg CBD dose might be subtle or completely unnoticeable depending on your personal tolerance, the flavor profile alone makes it an excellent purchase. It offers a premium, low-calorie social ritual that sits perfectly in any modern dry bar lineup.
