Edible Review: Key Lime Rapid Seltzer by Versus
This Versus Key Lime Rapid Seltzer has 2 grams of sugar but I personally find that hardly worth noting, though some disagree. But what of the rest of the beverage, sugar content aside? If you love sparkling water like I do then you’ll enjoy this cannabis infused version. The lime flavour is nicely balanced, not overly strong in taste like many flavoured seltzer waters on the market, infused or otherwise.
I picked up several beverages at a local dispensary recently and noted how many of those beverages have a ton of sugar in them. As someone who tries to limit the added sugar in my diet with varying degrees of success, I find it surprising that there aren’t more options for low or zero sugar beverages. Thankfully, this Versus Key Lime seltzer is a good option and for a reasonable price, especially considering that I’ve seen some drinks pushing $10/can.
I get a mild buzz from 10mg drinks, more so if the manufacturer is using a full spectrum extract. Versus is using what looks like an MCT oil cannabis distillate extract which doesn’t have the same staying power but it does the job. The label also mentions that the beverage is Powered by SōRSE but there’s not indication what that means so I’m going to assume it has something to do with their nano-emulsion technology used to infuse this drink. But that’s just a guess. Who knows! I’m not sure this is enough to convince anyone to buy this drink.
What should convince you to try this drink is that this Versus Key Lime Rapid Seltzer is low sugar, refreshing bubbly flavour, it’s priced well and provides rapid liftoff.
