  • 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 Grapefruit offers a refreshingly crisp and tangy sparkling water with a burst of real grapefruit juice. Unlike most flavored sparkling waters, it has a natural taste with a hint of sweetness, balanced by the citrusy bite of grapefruit. The light fizz complements the bold flavor, making it a perfect choice for a guilt-free, refreshing drink.

  • Love that spindrift ingredients show exactly what is in the beverage instead of listing “natural flavors”. It’s the only bubble water I let my children drink. It’s delicious always and really hits the spot on a hot day. Plenty of flavor options too! Also very low to no sugar!

  • Their pink lemonade sparkling water & the pineapple sparkling water are AMAZING! The pink lemonade is TART: just the way I like it. (Pink lemonades are usually way too sweet for me.) And the pineapple one is DIVINE. Tastes just like pineapple juice, but bubbly, and a fraction of the calories.

  • Was lovely

  • My favorite sparking water brand in terms of taste for sure, but the price makes it a splurge rather than my go-to. I especially love the real lemon taste of the lemon flavor.

  • Fantastic! It is refreshing and perfect drink for any occasion. I enjoy it having the essence of the fruit but isn't sweet or overwhelming.

  • It’s definitely not for me. The drink doesn’t taste well at all, the flavors are just weird. It’s like a fainter weirder bubbly version of a hint drink. The flavors are just so faint. I think it’s better cold than at room temperature, but I still wouldn’t recommend it if you like tasting the different flavors in a drink.

  • Huge fan of spindrift… I honestly buy boxes of cans multiple times in a month as a way to curb other carbonated beverages. I love that they are flavored with real fruit.

  • Oh my goodness, I love love loved the Blood Orange Tangerine Spindrift! As a big fan of Blood Orange flavor… I honestly think this flavor is under used. Yummo

  • Spindrift is my favorite brand of sparkling water. Blood orange tangerine flavor rates #1. It has a clean, natural, crisp bubbly taste with plenty of bubbles.

  • These are the best soda waters with such a great accent of flavor. Especially love raspberry and grapefruit. Yum!

  • It's almost impossible to find sparkling water without natural flavors. Spindrift tastes amazing and I feel 10000000% better about drinking it than all of the other options!

  • My favorite sparkling water with a splash of juice. So many good flavors and excellent price point. I usually buy at Target which frequently has sales too. My go to flavors are Pineapple, Grapefruit, Blood Orange and Raspberry Lime. The mojito and peach strawberry were a miss, mojito weird and peach strawberry not tasty, no flavor.

  • As far as flavored sparkling waters go, Spindrift is the undisputed champion of them all! I've tried most every brand of sparkling water that there is readily available for purchase and this is the best. Nothing gives great flavor like a touch of actual fruit juice. While I'm no longer able to have grapefruit due to a lifetime medication reaction, lime flavor is a just as delicious favorite.

  • I really like the transparent ingredients. Simple and clean.

  • the only good sparkling water out there tbh

  • Crisp, tasty and refreshing!

  • I actually love this. It's my fav sparkling water. I can't quite put my finger on it as I also like LaCroix and Waterloo. But I think it comes down to the fizz. Spindrift has a very pleasant carbonation, not too flat, and not too sparkly like some LaCroix flavors. I can't chug LaCroix mostly because the bubbles are abit aggressive and it feels like my mouth is being attacked by ants. So Spindrift it is. Fav is blood orange tangerine or grapefruit!

  • I like this brand a lot because they don’t use natural flavors but instead real fruit. I do find the flavors unique at times when I crave something other then sparkling water.
