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

  • 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.

  • As a carbonation hater, Spindrift is the only sparking water I enjoy drinking. It's really lightly carbonated. The actual fruit juice is refreshing and subtle. My favorites are the lemon and lime. This is 5 stars for me, but I'd guess there isn't enough flavor/bubbles for real seltzer-heads.

  • I love the flavor options and simplicity of the design. If you like sparkling water but without the bubbles being too aggressive, this is a GREAT product. It's also easily to mix with cocktails + other drinks.

  • Oh my gosh! This is my favorite sparkling water ever!! It has fresh fruit juice to naturally flavor it unlike others that use natural flavors. I wish they were a little bit cheaper, but even though they are expensive I still buy them because they are just that good!

  • This beverage is exactly what I always wanted La Croix to be: flavorful and effervescent without the weird aftertaste. I've tried a few, including the lime, lemon, and blood orange, and all have the same level of flavor so far and mild tartness that I expect from a citrus-flavored beverage. I will definitely purchase again, as these are refreshing and bubbly.

  • Spindrift is my go-to! Rn I'm especially loving the grapefruit flavor which pairs perfectly with tequila for an easy Paloma.

  • I mostly drink sparkly water, but this is a nice alternative when I want something different. Love that it's just a splash of natural juice.

  • I drink a ton of sparkling water, so the little bit of sugar from the fruit juice makes this feel like a treat. I love the flavour range and appreciate that there isn’t extra sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.

  • I LOVE spindrift!! I’ve never been a soda gal, but sometimes water just isn’t “it”, ya know? They’re bubbly, but not overwhelmingly so (if that makes sense). Their flavors are light, crisp and delicious. They make for a great mocktail/cocktail additive as well

  • Clean ingredients and tastes great! A step above regular sparkling water.

  • Who else is obsessed with sparkling water.. maybe it’s just me!! But I love the flavors Spindrift offers!!

  • I love the flavours of Sprindift, especially the Nojito, which is like a low-effort mocktail. The flavours are prominent without being overwhelming, and I love the range of options.

  • Spindrift is a nice (very flavorful) sparkling water that you can sip on for a while. Most flavors are pretty acidic, but I enjoy that every once in a while. A good cocktail replacement, also would be fun to make a cocktail with. A bit pricier than I would love but nice to have every once in a while.

  • A yes for for me. The subtle add splash of natural juice infusion gives it a little more than just regular sparkling water. Awesome as a cocktail mixer too.

  • So yummy! Great alternative to a soda, but also great mixer. They taste natural and taste GOOD! No essence of fruit, you actually get the real thing !

  • Love this sparkling water with a squeeze of fruit. Favorite flavors are blood orange and grapefruit. I did not the half and half or the strawberry lemonade - do yourself a favor and bypass those for the simple flavors. Delish

  • The “nojito” flavour is fire, especially for those looking to do dry January it’s a NA mojito to a T. -1 star because many of the flavours give you the mouth feel of sucking a lemon. It’s a weird tart smack I could do without. Hesitant to try others because of this and usually just stick to waterloo or kombuchas for a fix

  • I’ve tried a lot of sparkling waters and this is probably my least favorite brand. They always seem to have a bitter or unpleasant flavor. There might be some of them that are better, but there are too many other great brands to try instead. I do love the packaging.

  • Spindrift falls short of expectations. Despite marketing itself as a refreshing sparkling water, the taste is underwhelming, with an odd aftertaste that's far from enjoyable. The natural fruit flavors promised on the label are subtle at best, leaving a lackluster impression. Additionally, the relatively high price point for a product that fails to deliver on flavor makes it an unsatisfactory choice. Overall, a disappointing experience that doesn't live up to the hype.

  • Not a huge fan of the juice in this product, and I would much rather have a sparkling water without juice. But if you’re trying to cut back on sugary drinks, then this is a good option.
