Spindrift reviews and discussion

Reviews mention

  • Natural ingredients transparency
  • Bright citrus-forward flavors
  • Pleasant, refined carbonation
  • Versatile cocktail mixer
  • Inconsistent flavor execution
  • Occasional bitter aftertaste
  • Gentle, subdued carbonation
  • Tart, juice-like profile

Spindrift earns strong reviews for delivering sparkling water that actually tastes like real fruit—thanks to its use of real juice, crisp carbonation, and clean ingredients—making it a standout versus La Croix and other “essenced” seltzers. However, reviews also flag inconsistencies: certain flavors read bitter, tart, or bland (notably lemon, mojito/Nojito, strawberry lemonade), the fizz can feel light for seltzer purists, and some dislike the juice-like profile or lingering aftertaste.

  • 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)

    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

    Won a give away
  • Really good sparkling water, and I love that they use actual juice for flavoring. It makes the taste much better than other sparkling waters.

  • Love, love, love Spindrift. The perfect ratio of juice and sparkle. I've tried almost all of their flavors - all delicious!

    No notes!

  • This product is Bobby Approved. It uses real juice so you have to like the flavor of the juice. I like the pineapple one the most.

  • Love Spindrift, I think they have great and unique flavors with a bit stronger taste than La Croix. Personal faves include Pineapple (polarizing and not for everyone, but it grew on me), and the half tea half lemon sparkling water flavors.

  • I actually don't get the hype at all! I find them unpleasant. I'd much rather reach for a normal sparkling water.

  • I like all of the unique flavors Spindrift has to offer!

    more variety packs :)

  • Tasty! Makes me feel healthier when I drink it. Still sometimes more sugar than I would like.

  • I've never found another seltzer like Spindrift. It's almost like a cross between seltzer and juice because it uses real fruits, which gives it both color and more intense flavor. Initially I found the flavor almost overpowering but I've warmed up to it over time and now I love it. Appreciate how well it is merchandised - can find it in many NYC bodegas, Sweetgreens, supermarkets, etc.

    I wish it retailed at a more accessible price point. Would love even more retail presence :)

  • My fav brand of sparkling water :) I'll get to the point here. I love that Spindrift uses real squeezed fruit to flavor their sparkling water. I got really tired of seeing 'natural flavoring' on my sparkling waters (like what does that even mean, can you just be transparent and tell me what it is?!). Spindrift gets right to it. Carbonated water and some squeezed fruit. No sugar. No other additives. No 'natural flavor'. I have this on a subscription program and usually get variety packs, unless my local Target is running a sale. My fav flavors are Grapefruit and Pink Lemonade. You can't go wrong with any flavor :)

    Honestly, nothing. I love y'all. (Maybe more experimental flavors would be cool! Maybe a jalapeño lime?!)

  • I am a huge fan on Spindrift's flavors, they might be one of my favorite seltzer brands. The half tea, half lemonade is an all time favorite. They also make excellent cocktail mixers.

    Feedback

    Honestly, nothing. This is one product I truly enjoy.

  • My absolute favorite seltzer. It feels much more flavorful than some other "essenced" brands, yet the added fruit juice adds nearly no sugar/calories. It's honestly replaced soda for me, which is a huge plus!

  • Pretty good! I’ve bought a 6-pack or two on occasion from Trader Joe’s. These are a good drink for dinner parties with friends, or to bring on a picnic in the summer. I’m not obsessed but they are a reliable drink most people enjoy.

  • My house doesn't feel complete without a couple cases of these! They solve everything that people complain about when it comes to Lacroix—the fruit flavor is pronounced and feels natural, but the waters don't feel like fruit soda. Instead, they feel fresh and hydrating. Such a perfect treat. Iced tea with lemon, raspberry lime, and strawberry lemonade are the best.

  • Honestly one of the best sparkling water brands out there. They taste like actual fruit with just the right amount of carbonation, one of my favorite treats.

  • Spindrift is my favorite non alcoholic drink - I love the variety of flavors, the low sugar content and natural ingredients. The grape flavor is top tier, and can't wait to see what they come out with next.
