  • 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.

  • My favorite seltzer brand! They taste real, and I like that the bubbles are bigger than those of many other popular seltzer brands.

  • Spindrift might be the best thing that I've ever consumed. my only gripe is that they don't sell the variety 30-pack anywhere else but costco. They can do no wrong in my eyes. If you haven't tried the spindrift spiked seltzers, you are seriously missing out, the half-and-half spiked seltzer is my favorite alcoholic canned bevs.

    nothing this is a perfect product line

  • Sparkling water with a splash of real fruit juice, what’s better than that? Nothing. Tastes good, natural. A little tart which I like.

    Hard to say it’s worth the money.

  • I drink at least 2 of these a day. They’re so refreshing, low in sugar and taste like fresh fruit. They’re excellent to use as a mixer for cocktails. Tequila and grapefruit spin drift anyone?

  • Delicious! Love the natural taste and is really refreshing. A go to all year round and definitely a hot favorite during gatherings with friends and family.

  • Their flavors are great. I have grown to love sparkling a lot.

    More flavors!

  • The best sparkling water! Favorite flavors are blackberry and grapefruit.

  • As an avid seltzer drinker, I like the stronger fruit flavors in Spindrift thanks to the real fruit used to flavor.

  • Truly can't get enough of it. The best sparking water in my opinion, and not so much juice that I feel stressed about it. Lime is my favorite.

  • The best tasting flavored sparkling water. Since it's real fruit juice it doesn't have the weird fake flavor taste of other brands.

  • Tastes good, more of a fruit flavor/sharpness than other typical flavored seltzers but love that it doesn't have "natural flavor" chemicals.

    More flavors!

  • I know what sets this apart is the fact that it’s flavored with real fruit etc but I just can’t get past the floaters in the drink. I probably would drink it if it was available (maybe) but I wouldn’t buy it again personally.

  • Blood orange tangerine & lime are very tasty. Love that it's not sweet

  • These are my favorite seltzer waters! The flavor is not overpowering, the taste is real and not synthetic and the flavors itself are refreshing and creative.

  • Absolutely love these drinks so refreshing especially in the summertime heat

  • Yummy! Love these - I stock them in my office fridge. They're superior to the sparsely flavored sparkling waters out there. I'm a lemonade enjoyer, and the fruity flavors make me happy. Love seeing them pop up in more local spots, as they're a great casual drink.

  • My sister is obsessed with this, I certainly enjoyed it but l wouldn’t try this again.

  • Love Sprindrift! Grapefruit and Lemon are my favorites, but we often have them in our office, and everyone has different flavors that they love. The can design is fun too!

  • As far as the minimal ingredient, low calorie carbonate beverage offerings go, I think Spindrift is my favorite.
