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

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.

  • The fruit juice addition tastes slightly more premium than the La Croix ilk. If it's stocked in a tech start up fridge I'd reach for it every time.

  • If you like tart flavors and flavored sparkling water. This is a very healthy twist. All ingredients are natural with no added sugar but have more real fruit flavor than the flavored sparkling water drinks with only 5 to 15 calories per can depending on the flavor.

  • The flavors are all delicious and I love that they use real fruit to flavor the water. There isn’t another product like it and I always have some on hand!

  • I am a sparkling water connoisseur. Most sparkling water on the market is full of artificial flavoring and sweetness. I love that Spindrift uses real, naturally sourced ingredients.

  • favorite all natural sparkling water in the market! they have great flavors made with the best natural ingredients, would reach for spindrift out of any flavored sparkling water out there

  • Embarrassed to admit that I go through 2 boxes a week. I am completely obsessed with Spindrift. My favorite is the lime flavor!

  • Spindrift is one of the best seltzer options on the market. I love the real fruit juice taste. The lemon literally tastes like you squeezed a fresh lemon into soda water.

  • Love and hate relationship with this brand. Some of the flavors are so good and others are just disgusting. Pink lemonade or pineapple has been my favorites. A lot of the other flavors are just meh and honestly it’s overpriced.

  • So much better than La Croix in my opinion. I love having them stocked up in my mini fridge at home.

  • Definitely one of the best flavored sparkling waters out there! I’ve tried many flavors (variety pack) and all of the flavors taste like someone squeezed fresh fruit into the sparkling water.

  • I love these seltzers by themselves or mixing in cocktails! The use of just a hint of fruit juice gives them real flavor as opposed to other seltzer brands.

  • Decent sparkling water - better than La croix but definitely higher price

  • Always enjoy a Spindrift. Great selection of flavors that feel natural and not like digital water which so many other seltzers do.

  • My favorite sparkling water brand! Taste great and has really clean ingredients.

  • Delicious, soda-esque, refreshing! Spindrift is a juicy take on sparkling water and it's hard to find anything to complain about. It's just great when you're craving a bubbly treat and love all the flavors.

  • I’m hooked. I specifically purchase at target because they have the best prices and flavors. I was influenced by a tiktoker and yeah the rest is herstory.

  • I love Spindrift because it’s one of the only flavored sparkling waters that has real juice - and you can instantly notice the difference. I will not drink any other sparkling water - why would I want “natural” flavoring? Some of the flavors aren’t as good as others, like anything that isn’t citrus isn’t as refreshing. I use these in mocktails or when I make sparkling lemonade. They mix really well with other juices.

  • I love drinking sparkling water and this is my favorite brand. The flavors are crisp and taste like freshly squeezed fruit.

  • favorite sparkling water. the fruit flavors taste amazing

  • Tasty! I love fizzy water, but have found some to be too sweet or overwhelming in flavor. Spindrift is a great balance. I really enjoyed their grapefruit and lime options. Perfect on a hot day or after a hike.
