Reviews mention

  • Authentic fruit-forward flavor profile
  • Clean, simple ingredient list
  • Refreshing, crisp carbonation mouthfeel
  • Versatile mixer for cocktails
  • Occasional bitter flavor aftertaste
  • Inconsistent flavor intensity batch-to-batch
  • Lighter, subdued carbonation levels
  • Some flavors taste sour or flat

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 absolutely love Spindrift. I do not drink soda but I love a good seltzer and Spindrift really offers the best flavors out there! I always have these on hand! My favorite flavor is Nojito- mint and lime (no sugar added!)

  • These give me the satisfaction of a soda even though it’s not!

  • I know everyone loves this brand but I just don’t think they tasted good

  • I love how there's real juice in it! the raspberry lime is the best tartest flavor.

  • Blood orange is my favorite!

  • Its hard to rate this any different than the many others that are in this space. I cannot tell this from any other ones. Its fine. Literally fine but not amazing.

  • This is a delicious drink. There are so many yummy flavors. Can’t wait to try more.

  • I love these fruity sodas. I used to get another brand of somewhat better for you soda and it is no longer available. This feels better than reaching for a mainstream soda with coloring and additives.

  • spindrift is always in our house! we love getting a variety pack to switch it up whenever we want. it’s satisfies the craving for a carbonated beverage without the sugar

  • Cute packaging, tastes good. I like to mix the lime version with pineapple juice & top with ground sumac; makes for the perfect mocktail!

  • My favorite sparkling water by far. The real fruit flavor is bold and the combinations are great. I like the citrus flavors more, but that is personal preference.

  • Delicious. Not fake tasting. A great alt to the millions of La croix flavors. Better with booze!

  • La Croix who? Spindrift has the perfect amount of flavor. My favorites are the Lemon and blood orange tangerine. Even the fizz is the right amount, and the bubbles seem smaller and more dense than that of other carbonated waters.

  • A year later still my favorite seltzer. Their hard seltzer is also my fav hard seltzer. Does not get better and healthier than spindrift.

  • Solid product and taste. I wouldn't say it's favorite sparkling water brand if I had my pick but kudos to the blood orange flavor.

  • the best sparkling water alternative out there - flavors are actually natural and they have a ton of variety. They aren't over-carbonated, they're super refreshing, and even their "boring" flavors (lemon, lime, etc) are really tasty.

  • I appreciate the addition of real squeezed fruit but I think the flavor really lacks with the flavors.

  • As far as sparkling water goes, Spindrift is definitely not my top choice. I tend to avoid anything that has sugar when I'm searching for a sparkling water. I would say it's closer to a soda than it is sparkling water (since it has juice added in and does contain sugar) and leaves a slight after taste. They definitely have a ton of flavor and a bunch of unique flavors.

  • So far, my favorite of all of the sparkling waters out there. The flavor is stronger than most, and because they're naturally flavored, you don't get the artificial taste of most sparkling waters. Flavor options are good also.
