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.

  • Love the blood orange tangerine and the grapefruit. I'm dying to try the other flavors besides the Costco variety pack.

  • Sparkling water with a little bit of fruit juice. I have tried a few flavors and I am not a huge fan, but they are indeed natural flavors. The amount and texture of the bubbles are great.

  • These are good if you are a die hard fan of seltzer water. I had been trying to find one with more flavor and so many people recommended this brand and it was just OK.

    Feedback

    I wish there was more flavor. Maybe it's just the nature of sparkling water but some brands get more "essence" in their flavor and this one was not.

  • light and refreshing with teeny tiny pieces of fruit, good on its own, or as a mixer for a cocktail

  • So yummy! I love the Pineapple one.

  • This is the best flavored sparkling water ever. (Sorry, La Croix.)

    Feedback

    Perfection in a can! The best natural flavoring, refreshing fizz, and clean/pretty design. I love every flavor & am (clearly) a bit obsessed.

  • I love Spindrift, hard to keep them stocked in my fridge! They have just the right amount of bubbles and I love that they just real fruit instead of artificial flavors.

  • I love Spindrift. I love that there are so many flavors to choose from and I can keep rotating through them. One of my coworkers and I will bring each other new flavors to try, just because we love them so much. They are the perfect lunch pairing, and a bright spot in my day!

  • These are very tasty sparkling waters with actual juice for the flavoring and sweetener. Very good.

    Feedback

    They are not calorie free, so for me, I'll usually drink a flavored sparkling water instead, but these are really tasty and excellent for people who want the sweetness and taste of real juice.

  • Yummy flavors. There are better sparkling waters out there, but it's a pretty high-end option. Really pretty packaging.

  • Tried these for the first time during a backyard BBQ and was very impressed! I tried both the Raspberry Lime and Strawberry Lemonade flavors, and both were refreshing and delicious. Out of the two, I liked the Strawberry Lemonade more and had 2 cans. Pricing is very affordable and a great selection to have at a gathering.

    I'd recommend purchasing a variety pack to get a taste of each flavor. These can be purchased at most retailers and on Amazon.

  • Tastes great, I feel like it has a bit more flavor than other sparkling waters but it's still not too sweet.

  • I'm in the camp that drinks bubbles on the daily. A lot of the flavored sparkling waters have an odd aftertaste or have a very manufactured flavor to me, which I don't get from these since they use splash of real fruit juice. My fav is the grapefruit.

    Feedback

    I find the stronger and/or tart flavors to be more successful than the juices you could normally drink like pineapple which come off as watered down in the can.

  • flavors are subtle and bright.

    Feedback

    love that it available at my corner store.

  • A staple. Always a good choice. Never my TOP choice, but solid.

    Feedback

    Great balance of bubbles and flavor, wide range of options, always happy to see it in the fridge or at a party.

  • I looove these so much. The grapefruit flavor has the perfect tinge of flavor - it's really flavorful! Way more flavor than La Croix.

  • Really wanted to like these, but it’s my least favorite sparkling water brand that I’ve tried. There’s a distinct sour taste that lingers but it’s not pleasant (I usually love all things sour).

  • Fabulous taste, without the concerning ingredients of other sparkling water. Instead of relying on "essences" for flavor, they use real fruit. Big fan!

    My favorite flavor is blackberry. I highly recommend!

  • Tasty sparkling water with a variety of flavors. Plus you can get it at trader joes
