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.

  • Get this every time I’m at Cava. It really does taste like fruit!

  • I LOVE spindrift, especially the lemon flavor. I feel like most other sparkling waters have more of a "smell" rather than a "flavor" which makes it taste empty. I love how this actually tastes like juice and I'm able to finish an entire can unlike with other sparkling waters.

  • I am literally addicted to sparkling water/seltzer. I buy Spindrift when I want to treat myself. I love the raspberry lime and grapefruit flavors. Some others are a little bland (lemon) but I'll buy them if the others are out of stock.

  • Overall my favorite of the widely available sparking flavored waters. Tastes more natural to me than La Croix or comparable alternatives, without being packed with sugar.

  • Really delicious if you like sparkling water.

    Feedback

    Not as compelling if you like soda or juice. Wish I had some non-sugar sweetener in it. The slightly tart effect on the sparkling water isn't amazing.

  • I feel like i had them before the seller boom, but their fruit seltzers are by fast my favorite seltzer on the market

  • I like sparkling water a lot and I think spindrift is one of my favorite brands. Their flavors are always great, they have a clean look and good ingredients. Plus the price is pretty on par with others.

  • The best sparkling water I have ever tried! I love the fact that is uses real fruit juice rather than natural flavoring. It's a cleaner and better sparkling water and truly feels like a wonderful treat during my day.

  • I remember when Spindrift was new and everyone was going crazy over it. I think it's pretty good but some of the flavors are a little too sour, and some of the flavors would be better if they had a little more juice in them.

  • I love Spindrift‘a sparkling water! They’ve got some amazing flavors for an affordable price. The classic lime is an all time favorite. Besides that, the brand is fabulous! Their brand statement says it all “ We believe real ingredients should be accessible to all.” which they deliver!

  • The fruit flavor is very prominent in these strings. It’s not light at all which I appreciated. It’s not sweetened either which is rare to fine, including no Stevia if that’s your thing I do prefer, however to add a little Stevia in mind for some more sugary drink.

  • As someone who strongly prefers sparkling water to still water, I love the variety of flavor options available. I also enjoy the crisp and refreshing bubbles that keep their bite, even after the can has been opened for a bit.

  • Spindrift Grapefruit sparkling water is generally good, love its natural grapefruit flavor and real juice content. However, sometimes I do find the flavor bitter, but I do find it refreshing and light taste.

  • I like that this sparkling water has prebiotics, so it is healthier and almost as tasty as soda. There is a good variety of flavors. I liked the lime flavor as it reminds me of lime soda. I would recommend it.

  • Sparkling water that comes in limitless flavors. I love that they keep coming up with new flavors when I'm not even bored with the classics yet. The grapefruit and lime ones are my go-to for a midday pick-me-up.

  • I am not a huge sparkling water person - I like my sparkling water to be sweetened with stuff so I like soda, but if I had to drink it, I'd drink spindrift cause it uses real fruit instead of natural flavors

  • I love drinking sparkling waters as an afternoon. Pick me up when I’m working from home throughout the day, but some of them can be filled with chemicals. This is why I like this brand because their drinks are clean and have simple ingredients.

  • Spindrift tastes fresh thanks to real fruit juice, but the flavor is subtle and the fizz is light. It’s a nice option, but not ideal if you want bold flavor or zero calories. Might buy again to try out another flavor and give it another chance!
