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 drink spindrift basically everyday - love their mission and products. Blood orange and pineapple are my personal favorites.

  • Not only does this have the best carbonation, the flavors are SO good and taste like it's flavored with real fruit.

  • Of all the mild flavored seltzers, Spindrift is the one I repurchase most often. Alone or with a mixer, the raspberry lime is just so tasty. Not overpowering, not too sweet. So pleasant.

  • 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.

  • 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.
