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.

  • Easily the most flavorful sparkling water I have ever tasted. I absolutely love them.

  • I continue to be pissed off about how good spindrift is. How is it so much better than literally every other brand of sparkling water? Rude.

  • I really enjoy Spindrift beverages above nearly every other similar sparkling water. I have found they are more flavorful than a certain French sounding mainstream beverage and another one with a name close to that of a famous singer. There are a couple of flavors that stand above the rest for me, like Raspberry Lime and Blood Orange Tangerine.

    Spindrift is great! I generally enjoy it as a sparkling beverage when I have a hankering for something that is low calorie, but not water. Some flavors are just ok, even if they are better in my opinion than a competitor's equivalent.

  • These are great. While they are a very simple formula, Spindrifts are ideal beverages to keep in your fridge for any time of the day. Great to offer to guests, or when you just don't feel like drinking regular water. They can be a little expensive, but definitely worth it if you're purchasing from somewhere like Costco. They are constantly creating more innovative flavors. I haven't tried all, but grapefruit has been my favorite so far. You can tell they use real fruit and fruit juice.

  • I've tried a-lot of seltzers and these have the best flavors. They actually taste like the flavor on the cans says. Highly recommend.

  • I only really like one of the flavors of the few that I've tried and that would be Grapefruit -- the small amount of pulp makes it really good.

  • I love spindrifts!! Always liked flavored sparkling waters and the concept of having real juice in it is cool to me. Even if it's just a tiny amount and I'm mostly paying for the fun packaging and name. I like the unique flavors they have since lemon and lime got boring to me once I had too many. Yay spindrift!

  • So delicious! I’ve been drinking Spindrift for years. It’s great on its own or makes an excellent addition for a summer spritzer! Raspberry Lime is my favorite flavor.

  • i really wanted to love these bc they’re supposed to be a healthier alternative to la croix but the flavors were underwhelming to say the least

  • I wanted to like these, but the flavors are just not quite what I expect them to be. My friends seem to love them though, so give them a try.

  • WAyyyy better than la croix lol. These are a must have for parties or night out with friends.

  • Loooooove Spindrift. It was one of the first sparkling water brands I tried and found it so refreshing and nice to have as an alternative to plain water. I also love using it in smoothies for extra hydration with some flavor.

  • One of the best newer beverage brands. Already feels cemented in longevity, given wide availability. Not much to say about it — it's good drinking.

  • This is the best tasting sparkling water for me, hands down. I've cut back on a lot of alcohol because these tend to give me the carbonated mouthfeel that leaves me satisfied as well compared to other products in the marketplace.

  • Love that this sparkling beverage has real fruit juice and not artificial flavoring. It taste better than most sparkling beverages and have a good variety of flavors. I like the lemon and mango one.

  • Spindrift is great sparkling water. Some waters have a weird aftertaste but not this brand. I also use it as a mixer with vodka. Blood orange and lemon is my favorite

  • I love sparkling water and I have tried a lot of brands and I love these. This is a great product!

  • Love that there's real fruit. It's definitely a premium product. However, the carbonation doesn't seem to last very long.

  • One of my preferred seltzer brands! Strong fruit flavors, but wish it had a little bit stronger carbonation.

  • I'm a big sparkling water drinker. Heck, I'll go through 5 cans a day if it's in my fridge. As a triple fire sign, I also like to change things up a lot—but some beverages get staying power in my fridge. Spindrift is not one of them. The flavors aren't very potent and feel like maybe someone wafted the idea of a fruit juice over some bubbles.
