Spindrift reviews and discussion

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.

  • My favorite is raspberry lime, although delicious in almost flavors I’ve tried.

  • Love them! I like the hint of real flavor in the sparkling water. Great product.

  • Refreshing light flavor. My favorite is the Blood Orange Tangerine. I like to drink every night with the addition of a magnesium supplement. I look forward to the drink each night because it’s refreshing and enjoyable to drink prior to bed. I stored it upside down as the natural orange seems to go to the bottom of the can.

  • So delicious! Their flavors are super fun and taste like something you might have made it home so refreshing. They also make an excellent mixer for cocktails and mocktails. I especially love the Arnold Palmer one and the grapefruit.

  • Such a good sparkling water! Love the hint of flavor and all the different flavor options they have. The flavor is just enough. they are pretty expensive so I don't buy them often.

  • Hated the taste 👅 of fake sugar in juice

  • Every flavor is so good! Love the simple ingredients and that there are no sweeteners. My favorite sparkling beverage.

  • The flavor is ok, I prefer other drinks for the price and taste. Even plain sparkling water from other brands feel like a better deal and taste, but maybe I need to try it again.

  • Only sparkling water I will drink because it actually tastes like fruit and not like fruit essence.

  • I am an avid seltzer drinker and spindrift created a great one. I love that it has real juice instead of articial sweeteners. I have a lemon one every night with dinner. I also love the half and half instead of coffee for a mid day pick me up.

  • It’s good and you can taste the real juice. Be careful not to have it in your fridge for too long because I had an orange mango and it tasted like fermented orange juice and I was like oh goodness it’s gone bad.

  • This is the best seltzer brand on the market. With others it has more of an essence of flavor, but with spindrift you can really taste the citrus.

  • My brother introduced me to Spindrift a few summers ago and they’ve been my go-to drink on the beach. I love that they have barely any sugar! Perfectly refreshing and a bit more exciting than standard seltzer.

  • I love this drink! So many innovative flavor product options and the cleanest ingredient label. This product continues to create innovative options. I am really happy they are offered in a bulk pack at Costco because our family runs through these quickly! So many other sparkling water options have "natural flavors" included which is very sneaky (and often deceitful). I hope to see Sprindrift go organic in the future!

  • Delicious! Such a refreshing drink without the guilt of consuming sugary, empty calories.
