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.

  • 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!

  • I’m a huge fan of Spindrift! The sparkling water is incredibly refreshing, with real fruit juice that adds just the right amount of flavor without being overly sweet. I love that it contains no artificial ingredients and is made with simple, wholesome ingredients. Each flavor I’ve tried has been delicious, making it a perfect alternative to sugary sodas. Whether I’m enjoying it on its own or using it as a mixer for cocktails, Spindrift always hits the spot. It's a great choice for anyone looking to stay hydrated while enjoying a tasty beverage!

  • Great value for the cost. Love the packaging and taste of these waters. Love that they do not have preservatives and are one of the most natural on the market!

  • Tastes great no fake flavoring or taste. From my research it is one of the best sparkling waters for you. Easy to drink

  • I find Spindrift to be the best-tasting seltzer. Others I have tried are artificial tasting or have “natural flavors” which can contain a variety of mystery ingredients. I truly appreciate a clean seltzer option and I really think it tastes better. I love these over ice in the summer for hydration instead of always drinking boring water.

  • We drink a lot of bubbly water in our house - so much healthier than soda- and love Spendthrift’s flavors and price point. Refreshing and great on their own or as a cocktail mixer.

  • Super tasty! I was really surprised the first time I tried one of these because I didn't realize that it was made with real fruit, I was expecting a kind of generic flavor like LaCroix or other flavored sparkling waters. Definitely recommend!

  • My family and I love all of the flavors and enjoy this alone or mixed with a little fresh squeezed juice

  • I absolutely love the raspberry and lime one, and the lemon is super refreshing. These are just so nice in the summer.

  • Good flavor and natural but a bit too sweet.

  • Excellent sparkling waters with a touch of real fruit juice that sets them apart from other brands of seltzer. They are super refreshing and worth paying a little extra for, especially if they are on sale.

  • I really like that Spindrift uses real fruit juice in their sparkling water. They have unique flavors that I really like. I tend to like my sparkling waters a bit more carbonated, so that is the only reason for 4 stars. However, I like their can design and their overall brand image.

  • in the sparkling-water-universe, spindrifts aren’t my favorite. there is something that is left to be desired in the flavor. it’s not quite juice, not quite a pure sparkling water, and falls somewhere flat in between.

  • I love spindrift! The strawberry peach is my new favorite, with the nojito a close follow up. These cans are so refreshing and I love that they are flavored lightly with just fresh fruit, no weird sugar substitutes.

  • Spindrift is my favorite sparkling water since it is flavored with real juice and not some mysterious zero-calorie flavoring. Plys it is by far the most delicious.

  • This is my favorite sparkling water by far! I love that you can actually taste the fruit and that it uses real fruit juice

  • love spindrift! perfect on hot days, and they offer a variety of flavors. the hint of fruit adds a freshness that other seltzers don't. my favorite would have to be the blood orange tangerine. works well as a mixer for alcoholic bevs or on its own.

  • The more I try these, the more I like them. Great to add to cocktails and to drink on its own. Nice that it has real juice and is unsweetened. The grapefruit is tart but good!
