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.

  • Do you recall a summer day walking along as a kid and putting some bitter grass or wild weed in your mouth - If you liked that taste, you will love the raspberry lime Spindrift. Enjoy the memories :)

  • I swear by Spindrift. Always my go-to. It's so simple, not sweet, and super affordable. Favorite flavors are pineapple and mango!! Can't wait to try the new ones they just came out with.

  • Huge fan of sparkling water, not as much a fan of the flavors in Spindrift. Don't love that many of them have an undertone of lemon juice. I buy when it's on sale and cheaper than other sparkling water alternatives.

  • The minimal branding in regards to can packaging is a millennial's dream come true. A simple package for a pure real fruit sparkling water feels so authentic to me. And it tastes wonderful.

  • The only flavored sparkling water that doesn't taste artificial. Love that it tests low in PFAs in has no 'natural flavors.' My favorites are any variation of lemon/ lime and blackberry. Writing this is making me wish I had one!

    I only wish it was a bit more fizzy.

  • The lemon one is my go to flavor but also a fan of the grapefruit. I have them constantly stocked in my fridge.

  • I love spindrift! I like that it’s made with real fruit and the flavors are great. My favorite flavor is the Raspberry with lime. Taste great alone or using as a mixer in a cocktail or mock tail!

  • Fresh bright flavors!

  • The lemon flavor is my all time favorite. I’m not a fan of regular flavored seltzers but this one is the perfect balance of flavor without too much fizz.

  • I'm sippin' a spindrift as I type this (my first) review. I had doubts about the brand before I cracked open my first can. I had heard that it was a more flavorful alternative to your garden variety sparkling water, I had my doubts. I've never quite caught onto the sparkling water / Hard Seltzer craze that has shaken this nation to its core. But my problem has never been with the amount of flavor, my issue has always remained that I preferred my water flat/still. Maybe it's because they were free. But the Spindrift impressed me - I tried their approximation of the "Arnold Palmer" // Half-Tea Half-Lemonade. It was pretty nice. I'd have another but not anytime soon.

    Packaging could use a unique touch.

  • I love Spindrift - the lemon and raspberry flavors are my favorite.

  • I love Spindrift! It’s a great and refreshing drink that tastes more fruity than la croix, and has natural ingredients. I love the flavor selection as well, but my favorite is raspberry lime

  • I just recently tried the half tea/half lemon sparkling water, and it was fantastic. I'm a big fan of the original Arnold Palmer drink, this version is a healthier refreshing version of it.

  • i've only tried a few of their flavors, but every flavor i've tried i've been unimpressed. I might like the citrus flavors more, but i've yet to try. I particularly do not like the mango one.

  • I really like the raspberry flavor!
