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.

  • there's a touch of flavor, but not that strong - maybe I wish it was a bit more flavorful

  • I want to like this more, but unfortunately I just find all of the flavors to be astringent and not something I particularly crave.

  • So many fun flavors! I always have these on hand since I love bubbly drinks. I like that they're made with real fruits and no artificial flavors or sweeteners are ever added.

  • I like Spindrift in a pinch. Generally, if tea is involved, I prefer that to a fruit flavour (which can often be quite sharp and overwhelming).

  • Delicious! Every single flavor. The real juice added to these drinks sets it apart from other flavored waters. When I buy a 6 or 10 pack, they are gone within 24 hours as my whole family loves them

  • I can’t stop chugging there. All the flavors are amazing. It’s expensive but it the best sparkling water out there by far.

  • I used to love Spindrift but it seems to fall short and be boring compared to Olipop

  • The grapefruit flavor is my favorite! It's very nicely flavored for a carbonated drink, and carbonated drinks often miss on sustaining the flavor without the bubbles. Not all flavors are my cup of tea, but it's still so good.

  • Such an amazing sparkling water alternative! These have a tiny amount of calories due to the natural added juice, but it's so minimal that it really doesn't factor in for me. These taste fresh, natural, and have a great carbonation ratio. It's so WONDERFUL to taste something that is the real deal rather than "lemon flavoring" or whatever and zero added color! You can find them anywhere and I love that Costco carries them and they are so affordable.

  • I like this seltzer a lot - I prefer it over other major seltzers out there. I find the flavor to be more robust than others!

  • I’m not a sparkling water person, and spindrift isn’t going to change my mind anytime soon. I will say that some of their flavors are great mixers for a G&T, but otherwise, I don’t think it’s great. I have generic grocery store brands that I prefer over this

  • Great sparkling water with a light refreshing taste

    More complex and exciting flavor profiles

  • I haven’t come across a flavor I haven’t liked! What sets Spindrift apart is the real fruit juice. It adds so much flavor with out the sugary content. Favorite way to drink it is to blend up some fruit and add Spindrift for a flavor packed fizzy fruit drink to share with the kids

  • Really solid sparkling water brands. Just the right amount of fizz and classic flavors. Giving it four stars because I do feel like with all the other sparkling water and beverage brands popping up, would love to see more innovation in terms of flavors and product line for Spindrift to really stand out.

  • I stopped drinking all other sparkling water because nothing tastes as good as this. I'm obsessed with all their flavor options and it's the perfect drink during the summer when it's crazy hot. Plus, they're affordable to put out when I'm hosting and a still crowd please for different ages and tastes.

  • Have you tried Spindrift Lime yet? It's like a zesty little burst of sunshine in a can—perfect for those moments when I crave something refreshing and guilt-free. With real squeezed lime juice, it’s my go-to companion whether I'm lounging at home or catching up with friends on the weekend. Plus, that all-natural flavor makes me feel good about what I'm sipping on. If you're looking to elevate your sparkling water game, trust me, this is the one!

  • I freaking love Spindrift! Their flavors are good, the fizz is strong but not offensive and they are natural and refreshing for any occasion! I use them in cocktails!

  • Spindrift Grapefruit Sparkling Water is my absolute favorite! The real fruit juice gives it a bright, tangy flavor that’s so refreshing and far better than other sparkling waters. It’s just the right amount of fizz and not too sweet—perfect for any time of day. I love that it’s made with simple, clean ingredients and no artificial flavors. It feels like a treat without any guilt, and it’s great on its own or as a mixer. If you’re looking for a sparkling water that actually tastes natural and amazing, Spindrift Grapefruit is a must-try. Highly recommend!

  • I am SO loyal to Spindrift, it is always my go to for sparkling water. I love that they use real juice and no natural flavoring like most other brands. The lemon and blood orange are my favorite but I honestly haven't had one that I didn't like. They are the perfect amount of flavor in each one but never artificial tasting. I am team Spindrift!
