  • 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.

  • 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!

  • I’ve tried just about every sparkling water out there, and Spindrift is hands down my favorite. What sets it apart? Real fruit juice. You can actually taste it. It’s not some mysterious “essence of lime” — it’s real, refreshing, and just sweet enough without being sugary.

  • 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 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 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!

  • I love that Spindrift uses real fruit — you can actually taste it. Some flavors are stronger than others, but overall it's super refreshing and a nice upgrade from plain sparkling water. Simple, clean, and delicious.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I tried this for the first time and I really enjoyed the lemon flavored sparkling water. The lemon flavor was nice and refreshing. Nice and bubbly and not overpowering. Nice when chilled on a hot day!

  • 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.
