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.

  • 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!
