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.

  • Spindrift is great. used to get them at work a lot. I think they are my favorite of all the flavored sparkling waters (better than la croix, polar, etc.) Go for the grapefruit when you buy them!

  • Confession time: Even with a rainbow of flavors, I find "infused" sparkling water unsatisfying. It's like you get a tickling smell but nothing deeper. By adding just a dash of real juice, Spindrift brings back a beverage which actually feels like you're drinking something.

  • Spindrift is the king of sparkling waters. Yea it has a few calories but it’s because they use real juice and fruit in it. And you can tell the difference.

    The variety packs have had the same flavors for years. Could use some new flavors!

  • LaCroix who? Spindrift is the BEST low-calorie sparkling water, hands down.

    Feedback

    Pink Lemonade is my favorite and it's not as widely available as some of the others.

  • These are so tasty! Love the raspberry lime flavor!

    Feedback

    If anything, I think that there are too few cans in a box for the price.

  • These are probably best tasting sparkling waters and excellent for transitioning from sugary sodas to something a little healthier. The flavors are excellent and quite delicious.

  • Yum. I love this brand, especially in Summer. They're a bit more flavorful from the added juice and are great alone or added to a mixed drink.

  • Perfectly nails the real fruit flavor (because of real fruit!) in sparkling water!

  • I like sparkling water and I think spindrift is pretty good for what you pay for! It’s not expensive and you get good quality sparkling water.

    I think less fiz would be great but it’s sparkling water so I get it lol!

  • I.Love.Them.ALL. They're perfect alone, perfect for mocktails or even a cocktail mixer (helloooooo grapefruit for a summery paloma). There's such a wide variety of flavors (like, ACTUAL FLAVOR) you'll never get bored.

    COuld be a little sweeter

  • Love Spindrift - not just to drink on it's own - but to use in mixed cocktails. The flavor is not overwhelming and complements spirits quite well.

    For sparkling water enthusiasts, it may not pack the punch they're looking for. However, for my purposes, it's perfect.

  • I have tried better sparkling water probiotic drinks. It is still okay to drink.

  • The worst seltzer ive ever had in my entire life they have to be deleting the bad reviews on this or something bc there’s no way that people like this. Half of it tastes like really bad white wine and the rest tastes like absolutely nothing. I do not recommend to anyone who likes the taste of things that taste good. However, if you are someone who likes the taste of things that taste absolutely horrible then I recommended this to you

  • Not my kind of drink at all. I love sparkling or carbonated water but with the fruit added it's just tastes weird.
