OK, with a slogan as cool as “Slow Your Roll,” and billed as “the world’s first extreme relaxation beverage,” drank™ has quite an image to live up to ~ and as far as yours truly, a perpetual bundle of nerves whose brain never stops racing, is concerned, it does ~ in spades.

A little about my new favorite drink ~ it’s a yummy carbonated grape flavor (not overpowering, and just sweet enough) and it comes in 16 ounce purple cans (two servings’ worth, each at 110 calories). It’s formulated with natural calming agents like melatonin, rose hips, and valerian root…and it does just what it promises to do: it calms and soothes (like a lullaby and glass of warm milk, only for grown-ups). Now, I drank my drank™ before bed in hopes of getting a good night’s rest, which I did (and without any grogginess the next morning) ~ it worked so well, though, that I’ll echo what the manufacturers suggest, that you not drink it during the day when you need to be uber-productive at work or out driving around. We’re talking about supreme relaxation, so enjoy a can when you know you can luxuriate in sleep for a good number of hours!

For more info, including press clippings, drank™’s history (which is really worth reading ~ there’s a lot of interesting music industry involvement), and its marketing strategy, head to DrankBeverage.com, where you can also order yourself some cans of calm! Trust me, in this age of go, go, go set against a background of cell phones ringing and text messages beeping, you’re going to want to stock up.
