  • 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.

  • Good sparkling water (not the ‘juice-y’ soda tasting kind). Had the lime flavor, very refreshing.

  • I tried this for the first time and I really enjoyed the lemon flavored sparkling water. The lemon flavor was nice and refreshing. Nice and bubbly and not overpowering. Nice when chilled on a hot day!

  • This was a good drink. I prefer other brands but it was satisfying enough and I would buy again if it was the only brand available

  • These are just not my favorite. I see why people would like them they just aren’t for me. I would rather have just a sparkly water.

  • These are ok, I had the mango one. I'm just not a big fan in general of sparkling water with slight flavors. This is definitely more juicy than a LaCroix but still in the realm of a Hint water. I know plenty of people who love them who drink tons of sparkling water beverages.

  • I prefer this brand among all the sparkling canned waters because of its cleaner flavors and smaller bubbles. Unlike Topo Chico and Waterloo, Spindrift is more refreshing and doesn’t leave an aftertaste or combine many flavors so the taste is overpowering. I usually purchase one can at a local, small grocers near me in a Texas called Royal Blue. For me, Spindrift also doesn’t leave me super bloated.

  • It's pretty good sparkling water. I love the different flavors that they all have, but I always feel like I could use a bit more of the flavor in the drink itself.

  • Flavor tried: Half tea Half lemonade I have been trying to cut back on the sugar. the spindrift flavor I tried was very refreshing and simple. I love that the ingredients are simple and still tasty without the extra fluff. Five stars! 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋

  • Loved the flavor range. I'm a big sparkling water girl, and I love the variety Spindrift offers as opposed to some other companies I've tried.

  • genuinely thoughts this was called splindrift all this time.. oops! it's good but I don't personally buy it.

  • Didn’t like the flavor, it has a juice flavor that I was not a fan off personally.

  • I am going to be honest i really wanted to love these but unfortunately, they tasted a little too much like chemicals for my liking.

  • Better than other similar brands like La Croix. Just not a huge fan of seltzer.

  • I've tried many flavors of Spindrift and love them all! I've been using their grapefruit drink as an alternative to buying soda for years. The ingredients are clean and I like how it's just sparkling water with a little juice added - nothing else .

  • I love all of the flavors of spindrift and love that I found a healthy alternative to soda while staying hydrated

  • I love the wide variety and originality of flavors. And fresh juice vs essence.
