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.

  • Went through a grapefruit spindrift phase. A great way to drink more water without artifical sweeteners, added cane sugar, or added high fructose corn syrup.

  • I don't understand how anyone can not become addicted to Spindrift as soon as they try one flavor. I can't wait to see what flavors they continue to expand the line with, but huge fan of the "arnold palmer" flavor, the raspberry lime, and the blood orange tangerine.

  • Great sparkling water. Love that it is real fruit instead of artificial flavoring. Takes a few tries to find your favorite flavor but I'm sure everyone will!

  • As far as sparkling waters go, Spindrift has a wonderful taste, and is a great alternative to sodas!

  • The only sparkling flavored water that doesn’t give me a headache. I drink these every day! Love the lime and raspberry lime the most.

  • We love. A classic. Always delivers. Good flavors and good carbonation

  • Spindrift is so great for when you want something a little more flavorful than a sparkling water. I also love using Spindrift as a mixer.

  • All of my friends URGEDDD me to try this. It’s a flavored sparkling water and it’s so good! I love drinking these everyday and I look forward to them when I get off work.

  • TASTE hello, addiction! The only bubbly water that uses real fruit juice with no artificial sweeteners. This is a household staple.

  • Love their flavors and every product I’ve tried! One of the better sparkling water brand on the market.

  • I think this sparkling water is a step above seltzer- it tastes really natural, you can tell it has some fruit juice, and I like that it doesn't have extra sweetener. Its a great mixer for drinks too. I just found the Lime and Mint flavor and it's a new favorite!

  • Love the taste of every flavor. A bit pricey, but worth it to up the water game and have a bit more fun when wanting to stick with water but are feeling bored of it.

  • The best. Especially love the Raspberry Lime, Blackberry, and Pineapple flavors. Wish it was a little cheaper, but worth it.

    Feedback

    My only gripe is WHY DON'T THE BOXES HAVE THE CUTOUT FOR CARRYING THEM EASILY. Every other canned drink has that little slot so you can slide your hand it. Spindrift used to have it and then inexplicably removed it??
