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.

  • My favorite brand of bubbly water! Super refreshing, and clean ingredients. Pretty sure I've loved every flavor I've tried (with lime being my go-to!) 5/5!

  • Obsessed with the lemon flavor, and the lemon iced tea flavor. Seems to have more flavor than other sparking waters which I love!

  • Good quality sparkling water and nice brand design on can. I'm not the biggest fan of their fruit flavoring as compared to Perrier or LaCroix, but know it is natural and they have a large fanbase.

  • I like the fact that there is real fruit juice instead of some weird artificial fruit flavor. I love seltzer so for me this is a great drink. The flavors are good and there is a nice variety.

    Maybe having seasonal flavors or adding some additional flavors to the line would be nice.

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

  • Always get these at Dig. The perfect minimal flavor add when I’m not in the mood for just water.

  • I think overall, it's good water if offered to me at an event or if there's no other brands around and I just want that bubbly.

    I'm not a huge fan of some of the flavors, even if they're more complex or interesting that La Croix and other cheap brands. I think I'd value the amount of bubbly I could get all the time for depth of flavor.

  • Way better than your average sparkling water, good flavor choices.

  • Spindrift is super cool to use as a mixer for extra flavor and to add bubbly. The variety of flavors is what I enjoy the most :) Thank you!

  • This is my preferred sparkling water on the market. I really like the juice vs. flavor additive.

  • It’s good but not my favorite sparkling water.

    Feedback

    The flavors are just meh.

  • Spindrift is the only canned seltzer brand I drink (and I drink it constantly, every day). It's as simple as you can get from a flavor perspective, and I think it's pretty much the only one on the market that uses *just* water + fruit juice. It tastes exactly like if you just poured a couple tablespoons of your favorite fruit's juice in it- no gross chemical flavors at all. I love it

  • Love the flavors-- love the brand.

    Feedback

    Not much-- maybe do some cool releases on a quarterly basis but nothing really needs to change.

  • I love the ingredients and range of flavors. The blood orange tangerine has to be my favorite! I also love that they have alcoholic versions as well.

    Feedback

    Do they offer nonalcoholic variety packs? I would love to be able to purchase that for my day to day

  • Perfect midday pick me up. Delicious and hydrating and very cost effective for this category.

  • I'm not big on sparkling water but my dad loves this stuff and I like seeing him happy when he drinks it. Easy five stars.

  • Spindrift puts all other seltzer to shame. The flavors are spot on and I haven't had one that I haven't liked! Seriously the best.

  • I though the grapefruit flavor tasted good, but did not really stand out. I would drink again, but I might not buy it. Overall, just ok.
