  • Authentic fruit-forward flavor profile
  • Clean, simple ingredient list
  • Refreshing, crisp carbonation mouthfeel
  • Versatile mixer for cocktails

  • Inconsistent flavor intensity batch-to-batch
  • Lighter, subdued carbonation levels

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 recently tried Spindrift sparkling water, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised! Unlike many flavored sparkling waters that rely on artificial flavors and sweeteners, Spindrift takes a different approach by using real fruit juice. This gives their drinks a genuinely refreshing taste that feels wholesome and satisfying. What I appreciate most about Spindrift is the commitment to using simple ingredients. The addition of real fruit juice not only enhances the flavor but also makes me feel better about what I'm drinking. It feels more like a healthy alternative to sugary sodas, which is a huge plus. The carbonation level is spot on; it provides that fizzy kick without being too aggressive. I enjoyed sipping it on its own, but I can see it being a great mixer for cocktails or a refreshing base for mocktails as well. Overall, Spindrift has won me over with its quality and taste. If you're searching for a sparkling water that genuinely delivers on flavor and uses natural ingredients, I highly recommend giving Spindrift a try. It’s a great choice for hydration without sacrificing taste!

  • I think its a great brand that has simple ingredients. Other options have unnecessary chemicals for no reason. Love their blood orange flavor!

  • Spindrift is hands down my favorite sparkling water! Unlike many other brands, Spindrift uses real fruit to flavor their drinks, which gives each sip a fresh, natural taste without any artificial sweeteners or additives. The flavors are vibrant and crisp, making it a perfect refreshing beverage for any time of day. Whether you're craving lemon, lime, or something more exotic, Spindrift is a delicious, guilt-free option. If you're looking for a sparkling water that’s truly bursting with flavor, Spindrift is a must-try! 🌿🍋

  • There has been a boom of flavored seltzers over the past few years, but my all time fav is Spindrift! Instead of weird flavorings or chemically-extracted "essence"s, these seltzers are flavored with real juice and come in great combinations. Perfect amount of carbonation, but I like seltzers on the high-carbonation side so if you're not into that, it may not be your favorite.

  • Well the first and only time that I had it, I thought it was spoiled. Good that company uses real fruit juice. But it tasted so bitter, like I ate grapefruit peel. Maybe only good for cocktails. Not sure about other flavors.

  • I love Spindrift! I am a seltzer addict and I love how you can actually taste the raspberry in the seltzer water, this is a 10/10 for me!

  • Great value for the cost. Love the packaging and taste of these waters. Love that they do not have preservatives and are one of the most natural on the market!

  • I love the clean ingredients in spindrift but find it sometimes can impact the taste negatively. Flavors often lean very tart vs subtle.

  • This is my favorite sparkling water. I like the varieties available and that I can get it in almost any grocery store. I love the seasonal flavors too.

  • I love blood oranges. The next best thing after the fruit.

  • These drinks actually taste like fruit infused sparkling water and nothing more. I like it for its trueness to the flavor it is and not adding anything more to over sweeten it or anything.

  • It's sparkling water. It's not misleading in any way. The flavor varieties are nice, and they're more accessible to me in my area in comparison to La Croix (I'm surprised too). I was going to rate a 4, but then thought about it a bit more. They are consistent, do a good job, their flavorings are good and don't have an artificial taste at all. It's sparkling water, you know what you're getting.

  • I recently decided to give Spindrift Water a try after hearing a lot of buzz about this sparkling water brand. Given its reputation for using real fruit juice and promising a refreshing, natural taste, I was excited to find a healthier alternative to sugary sodas and artificial sparkling waters. However, my experience turned out to be quite different from what I anticipated. Firstly, Spindrift comes in a variety of flavors, such as Lemon, Raspberry Lime, and Grapefruit. On the initial sip, the taste is indeed refreshing and authentic, with a clear burst of real fruit flavor. It doesn't have the overly sweet or synthetic taste that you often find in other flavored sparkling waters. I appreciated that aspect and had high hopes for it as a new staple in my fridge. However, the aftertaste is where things took a turn for the worse. Sadly, each flavor I tried left an odd, unpleasant aftertaste that lingered far too long. It was almost as if the water had an off-putting, slightly bitter finish that clashed with the initial fruitiness. I found this aftertaste to be quite gross and very distracting from what should have been a simple and refreshing beverage experience

  • Obsessed. The arnold palmer/ half and half flavor is hands down the best. If the store doesn't have that flavor, I always get pineapple!

  • These were okay! I am not the biggest fan of these types of drinks anyways but this also wasn’t that great for me. The flavor was alright, probably won’t buy again but the packaging is nice & pretty!

  • best flavor out of all sparkling water. its the juice that won me over

  • I love flavored sparkling water, and Spindrift really quenches my thirst! The flavors are very natural, like grapefruit, lime, and strawberry. I tried the grapefruit flavor, and I very much enjoyed it. I'll look forward to buying multi-packs of Spindrift whenever it's on sale!

  • I like to grab Sprindrif when I want a little something more than sparkling water, but less sugary than soda. The natural juice taste shines through nicely and without any weird after taste! I like to use these in mocktails/cocktails too. I wish they had even more flavors!
