  • Authentic fruit-forward flavor profile
  • Clean, simple ingredient list

Spindrift wins praise in reviews for tasting like real fruit—thanks to actual juice—delivering crisp, refreshing flavors such as Grapefruit, Raspberry Lime, Blood Orange Tangerine, and Half Tea & Half Lemon that many prefer over La Croix. However, reviewers flag inconsistencies: certain flavors (e.g., Mojito/Nojito, Peach Strawberry, some mango and pineapple) read sour, bitter, or flat, carbonation can feel light, and flavor intensity varies by batch, leaving some wanting a bolder or less tart profile.

  • 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 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 love sparkling water, but I don't need a lot of sparkle in that water. Spindrift offers just the right amount of fizz. Pineapple has always been my go to, but the cosmopolitan flavor is a VERY close second. Cheers!

  • I’ve tried just about every sparkling water out there, and Spindrift is hands down my favorite. What sets it apart? Real fruit juice. You can actually taste it. It’s not some mysterious “essence of lime” — it’s real, refreshing, and just sweet enough without being sugary.

  • The flavor is light and crisp, with no cloying aftertaste. I was a diet soda drinker for 20 years and Sprindrift finally helped me quit. It's pleasantly carbonated and refreshing so I feel like I upgraded. I don't miss soda at all.

  • I love that Spindrift uses real fruit — you can actually taste it. Some flavors are stronger than others, but overall it's super refreshing and a nice upgrade from plain sparkling water. Simple, clean, and delicious.

  • I really love sparkling water. I really love soda. Spindrift is the best combo of both. Lemon is my favorite go to flavor. I even take it on vacation with me. Spindrift, Meet Arizona for the weekend!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I like that their unsweetened sparkling drink didn't have a bitter aftertaste. Though unsweet I still was able to taste the natural lemon flavor as if it had been freshly squeezed. I think their slightly sweetened drinks would be even better though!

  • 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 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

  • 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!

  • 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 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.
