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.

  • I’m a huge spindrift fan and love the simplicity but strong flavors in their products. I loveeee the grapefruit highly recommend

  • 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!
