  • 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.

  • Really like this sparkling water. Very subtle taste of the flavor you choose. I like the packaging as well. I love that it's made with real fruit and very refreshing on a hot day. I like to serve these to guests instead of soda.

  • This isn’t your cloyingly sweet grapefruit soda. Spindrift’s version is tart, tangy, and pleasantly bitter, mimicking the actual experience of biting into a ripe ruby-red grapefruit. The drink’s ingredient list is minimalist: carbonated water, grapefruit juice (5%), and nothing else. No added sugars, no “natural flavors,” just the essence of real fruit. The bitterness might surprise those accustomed to sugary sodas, but it’s a welcome departure for fans of bold, authentic flavors.

  • Spindrift has been a favorite brand of mine for a long time. I love seltzers and this brand definitely hits the mark for me. It can be a little expensive but I mostly find it worth it. My favorite flavor is raspberry lime!

  • Spindrift is the GOAT of fruity sparkling waters. The Fuji Apple flavor is the yummiest carbonated water I’ve ever had. I went all in on Spindrift after watching Bobby’s YouTube video about how it was the healthiest of the category with no natural flavors. Now I keep it permanently stocked in my fridge and reach for it all the time when making cocktails. The 30 pack at Costco is usually the best bang for your buck, and they rotate seasonal flavors! Pineapple + blood orange are my other faves after the Fuji apple.

  • Huge fan of spindrift and have tried nearly every flavor they’ve released. The citrus flavors are particularly well done! Each flavor is crisp and delightfully effervescent

  • Spindrift taste is so refreshing and there's no other flavored sparking water that I'd rather have, because it's real fruit juice and not weird flavors. Best flavor for me it's Grapefruit or Lemon. Hands down the best flavored sparkling water.

  • Spindrift made me love sparkling water. I had no desire to drink water with bubbles until I took a chance on Spindrift at Cava years ago. While I love them all, my favorites are the raspberry lime, pink lemonade, and orange mango. This is the best brand of sparkling water by far.

  • Spiked ?! I was sold! These were kind of hard to find but it was worth the hunt. They are not overly sweet which is good and love the bubbly. It didn’t make me feel bloated neither which is a plus in my book!

  • Spindrift Nojito sparkling water is my go to NA mojito drink 😀

  • Great sparkling water, healthy soda alternative with awesome flavors. Blood orange is mu favorite.

  • Great sparkling water. Made with natural ingredients. No preservatives. No added sugar.

  • I love, Grapefruit is my favorite flavor. It’s the perfect amount of sparkling water bubbles.

    More flavors.

  • I love sparkling water and the little added flavor from juice, NOT natural flavors, is a nice refreshing treat for me. I prefer the lemon flavor best.

  • Spindrift is an excellent brand of sparkling water. I love the variety of flavors and the availability of this product in many areas. In addition, the natural flavoring versus artificial flavoring makes it a healthy option that I appreciate.

  • To me, these taste a bit too artificial & overly carbonated. The flavor combos sound good & I wish I liked them more!

  • I think the only good flavor is the grapefruit. It’s okay but not my favorite seltzer. I do like that you are able to get it at Trader Joe’s.

  • I love flavored sparkling waters and I've tried almost every one I've come across. Spindrift is one of my favorites. It has a good fruit taste for a reasonable price. The lemonade/ice tea flavor and the grapefruit are my favorites.

    Delicious fruity sparkling water for a reasonable price.

  • Spindrift is super refreshing and feels way more natural than other sparkling waters—love that it’s made with real fruit juice! It’s crisp and light, but some flavors can be a little tart or not as balanced. Still my go-to fizzy drink!
