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.

  • Spindrift is my favorite sparkling water. I find that it's not overwhelmingly carbonated, so it's easy to drink, and the flavors are light, so it's very hydrating.

  • Great flavors, low calorie (12 for the blood orange tangerine. Easy to drink or mix with your favorite alcohol.

  • Love spindrift! I love that it's seltzer but with a bit more flavor than typical seltzer - love the added juice but also appreciate that it's not a high sugar/calorie content.

  • Obsessed with Spindrift. Always have been. Just feels like elevating a boring beverage into a fun one without any of the "guilt".

  • A great alternative to pop! They always brighten my day and have a good flavor variety

  • They are better than some other seltzers or flavored drinks but it gives me a funny taste. Available at some restaurants and to go stores so it’s very convenient and you know what you’re getting.

  • I really wanted to love this product, but a few of the flavors tastes really bad specifically grapefruit. I do like the concept and it is more natural but for a higher price and strange flavor I would say pass.

  • Can you say delicious? Natural? Low-sugar? I honestly don't know how they do it...

  • Different from your typical seltzer because of added juice but still much healthier and lower sugar than traditional juices or certainly diet soda

  • The first sip you can taste the juice! It's amazing how refreshing they are. I would put spindrift above all other grocery store sparkling water I have tried. I love all the flavors.

  • The fruit taste is more natural than other sparkling waters which is refreshing. However, the bubbles don't last as long as La Croix or other brands.

  • Spindrift is by far my favorite sparkling beverage available. It's much more flavorful that sparkling water brands with "natural essence" (La Croix, Bubbly, Polar, etc.) because they use real fruit juice. This does mean that they are a few calories, but they still don't have any added sugar, so IMO, it's super worth it. I will say that I have tried almost all the flavors, and while I love regular iced tea, I don't really like any of the spindrift tea flavors because the tea and bubbly water are a weird mix for me. All the others are great though! The Raspberry Lime, Strawberry Lemonade, and Nojito flavors are my favorite!

  • They very lightly flavored. Not bad though, really fun to make mocktails with.

  • LOVE Spindrift. Am not a fan of the traditional grapefruit - but love the other flavors. Helped kick my diet soda craving! Love finding these at stores like Costco for a bit of a discount.

  • Best flavored sparkling water in the biz! They use actual fruit extracts in their products with no extra additives. I love these in place of sodas or if I’m craving something with a juice like taste, I’ll grab one of these and add a little stevia for sweetness and definitely hits the spot. My favorite flavor would definitely be pineapple! You can also mix them in with your favorite alcohol for a “healthier” flavored mixed drink!

  • I love my spindrift literally it is the one thing I always buy at the grocery store. would die for the raspberry lime, blood orange, and pink lemonade flavors (don't love the other ones....they are good but I'm not paying 6-8 dollars for a case ya know)

    Feedback

    bring back old flavors stop doing so many tea flavors like its too much we are going to have 3 sparkling ice tea flavors in the line up? no I won in the like raffle a free case no nojito. Guys that did not taste like mint at all. It was so fucking disappointing. I was so excited. All my friends came over and we tried it and concluded it just tastes less lime-y than the regular lime flavor
