Reviews mention

  • Real-fruit ingredients, transparent labeling
  • Bright, citrusy flavor profiles
  • Versatile, cocktail-friendly beverages
  • Clean, refreshing taste experience
  • Occasional tart, bitter aftertaste
  • Inconsistent flavor execution
  • Lighter, short-lived carbonation
  • Pervasive lemony undertone

Spindrift earns strong reviews as a more flavorful, real-fruit alternative to typical “essenced” seltzers, praised for clean ingredients, vibrant citrusy favorites like Grapefruit, Blood Orange Tangerine, Pineapple, and Raspberry Lime, and versatility as a mixer—so yes, it’s good and it works. Weak spots surface around inconsistent or tart/bitter flavors (notably Nojito, Peach Strawberry, some teas), lighter or too-strong carbonation for some, occasional lemon-juice undertone, and rare complaints about aftertaste; one review alleges a severe contamination incident.

  • Even as a health coach, drinking enough plain water is one healthy habit I have never mastered. Spindrift is the workaround that actually works for me. It tastes like real fruit because it is made with real squeezed fruit, not the vague “natural flavors” that show up in so many sparkling waters. ([Spindrift Market][1]) Grapefruit is my favorite. It is tart, refreshing, not overly carbonated, and somehow never gets boring. My ultimate combination is a cold Grapefruit Spindrift with an LMNT electrolyte packet mixed in after the sauna. Salty, citrusy, ice cold and genuinely delicious. It may be my favorite sauna drink, period. I buy this constantly. Sometimes the best wellness products aren't complicated. They're simply the ones that make you want to do the healthy thing more often.

  • I am writing to formally report a serious public health and food safety concern regarding a contaminated beverage product purchased/opened in Kenosha County on September 28, 2026. Upon opening a can of Spindrift, I discovered a dead mouse inside the container. Given the severe health risks associated with rodent contamination and potential foodborne illnesses.

  • After polishing off an entire 6 pack of this flavor, I can safely say I have a summer favorite! It’s light, tart and refreshing for hot LA summers. Overall, I love spindrift for their “real squeezed fruit” flavors.

  • I think I have tried every flavour from this brand. I absolutely love sparkling water and the fact that these use a small amount of pure fruit juice is the winner for me as I struggle to drink plain water. They taste great and keep my hydrated which I need living in a hot climate!

  • I love the lemon and pineapple flavors of spindrift. They're great if you're craving a soda or sweet, but don't want all the calories / fake surgars. They're a little pricier than other sparkling waters, but I like that they include real fruit juices.

  • Spin Drift Blood Orange Tangerine is so delicious. It’s a sparkling water but you also get a hint of the real fruit juice flavor but no calories or sugar. It was definitely better than other sparkling waters I’ve had. It’s a little pricier but worth it because the quality is there and also it helped me with my sweet tooth cravings. Definitely worth trying all the flavors.

  • I've only tried one flavor from this brand, but I liked the one that I tried. I found that it had enough flavor, but it could have had a bit more still. I like that this brand gives back through 1% for the planet.

  • Spindrift is a sparkling water that is very refreshing. With no sugar added and with very low calories, Spindrift is one of our favorite drinks. With many different flavors available, Spindrift is made with simple, fresh ingredients that quenches your thirst. Great additions to cookouts or just enjoy any day/night of the week. I currently have the Raspberry Lime is in refrigerator and it is very yummy. I look forward to giving more flavors a try.

  • I'm extremely picky with my sparkling waters and thought Spindrift was overrated for a long time until they released their blood orange tangerine flavor. I fell in love! Blood orange is one of my favorite flavors and this really nailed the balance between the blood orange and tangerine without it being overly sweet.

  • Refreshing and Versatile: Spindrift's Unsweetened Grapefruit Spindrift's Unsweetened Grapefruit sparkling water is an absolute delight! The natural grapefruit flavor is incredibly refreshing, with just the right amount of fizz and no added sugars. I love using it to make low-calorie cocktails – it adds a perfect, tangy twist without any guilt. Whether enjoyed on its own or mixed into a drink, Spindrift is a must-have for anyone seeking a delicious and healthy beverage option. Five stars!

  • I absolutely love spindrift!! I am not usually a sparkling water fan, so I was very very surprised. It tastes great, it is refreshing. This is a great product!

  • Did this review for Thingtesting with no discount. I bought the half tea and half lemon flavor of Spindrift. It is made with brewed tea, real lemon and zero sugar. No Stivia or added sugar. It was a very refreshing drink no after taste of any kind. Very simple and natural ingredients. I would recommend.

  • I’m new when it comes to sparkling water, unsweetened products. I really did like the Fuji apple flavor. It’s easy to mix with other juices, drink by itself or even a cocktail/mocktail

  • Move over, Arnold Palmer: I cannot get enough of Spindrift's "half tea & half lemon" sparkling water. It's the perfect blend of the three ingredients—carbonated water, lemon juice, and brewed black tea—with absolutely no sugar, Sucralose, or stevia. Offering just the right balance of citrus tang and brewed earthiness, it's great as a mid-afternoon thirst quencher and/or pick-me-up. You even get tiny pieces of tea leaf pouring out as you finish the can: how's that for authenticity? 😀

  • I love spindrift! Out of the ones I her tried so far my favorite it the orange mango. I have also tried their spiked sparkling water which I really enjoyed. They are one of my favorite spiked seltzers. Definitely recommend!

  • I like Spindrift's unique flavors and appreciate that they use real fruit juice to sweeten their sparkling water. The variety keeps me from getting bored, and the drinks are low calorie, so I can drink them often and not feel too guilty. They're refreshing a nice afternoon pick me up.

  • I like Spindrift's sparkling water! They have so many different flavors to choose from and I don't think I've ever tried one that doesn't taste good - they are always so refreshing to drink and you can tell the quality is good too.

  • Really like this sparkling water. Very subtle taste of the flavor you choose. I like the packaging as well. I love that it's made with real fruit and very refreshing on a hot day. I like to serve these to guests instead of soda.

  • This isn’t your cloyingly sweet grapefruit soda. Spindrift’s version is tart, tangy, and pleasantly bitter, mimicking the actual experience of biting into a ripe ruby-red grapefruit. The drink’s ingredient list is minimalist: carbonated water, grapefruit juice (5%), and nothing else. No added sugars, no “natural flavors,” just the essence of real fruit. The bitterness might surprise those accustomed to sugary sodas, but it’s a welcome departure for fans of bold, authentic flavors.

  • Spindrift has been a favorite brand of mine for a long time. I love seltzers and this brand definitely hits the mark for me. It can be a little expensive but I mostly find it worth it. My favorite flavor is raspberry lime!
