Blood orange is one of those flavors CBD and THC drink brands will not leave alone.

At this point, I see blood orange on a can and assume I’m about to get something vaguely citrusy, slightly bitter, and pretending to be more sophisticated than it is. It’s not a bad flavor. It’s just been done to death by every beverage brand trying to sound healthy and mature.

Wyld’s Blood Orange 50mg CBD Sparkling Water is one of the better versions I’ve had because it actually tastes juicy and invigorating, not flat and obligatory. It has that tart citrus thing, but it doesn’t taste like someone whispered “orange peel” into a can of seltzer and called it functional.

The formula is also pretty serious for a sparkling water: 50mg broad-spectrum CBD per can, with 10 calories and 1g of sugar. That is a lot of CBD for a drink that still feels light enough to sip during the day. It’s also broad-spectrum, meaning there’s no THC in it, so this is not going to get you high.

That said, 50mg CBD is still 50mg CBD. Just because it’s not intoxicating does not mean you need to slam the whole can like it’s a LaCroix or San Pellegrino.

Wyld’s Blood Orange CBD Sparkling Water is one of the cleanest high-CBD drinks I’ve tried.

It doesn’t get you high, but the 50mg CBD dose did make me feel calmer and less stressed after about an hour. I drank it with lunch and finished it before my final meeting of the day, and by the time work ended, I was fully in chill-out mode.

Buy it if: you want a THC-free CBD sparkling water with a high CBD dose, low sugar, and actual flavor.

Skip it if: you want a THC drink, a fast and obvious “hit,” or a sweet soda-style beverage.

Best part: it has a whopping 50mg CBD in a tall can with only 10 calories and 1g sugar.

Biggest drawback: 50mg CBD may be too much for someone brand new to CBD, especially if they drink the whole can at once.

How I Tested Wyld Blood Orange CBD Sparkling Water

I drank this during a stressful workday, with lunch, and finished it before my final meeting of the day.

That felt like the right test because this is not a party drink, a sleep drink, or a THC seltzer. It’s a high-CBD sparkling water that makes the most sense for a demanding day when you want to feel less tense without getting high.

I paid attention to flavor, carbonation, how the 50mg CBD dose felt, and whether it made me sleepy or just calmer. A CBD drink can be relaxing without turning into a nap trap, and I wanted to see where Wyld landed.

I also thought about whether I’d drink the whole........
