I don't remember when I first had a Spindrift, but I do know that it quickly spiraled from a mid-day pick me up to a full blown obsession. I drink one every single day, and it's become something that I look forward to in the midst of busy workdays. It's the only sparkling water I've ever tried that actually uses real fruit to sweeten and flavour, which is something I really appreciate, and I'm not the only one; Kristen Bell loves it too [1]. Lots of other waters taste too strongly of chemicals and artificial flavours for my taste, but this is sweet, delicious, and healthy [2]. To say I'm obsessed with Spindrift would be an understatement.
I'm so in love with Spindrift that I've converted not only my family, but the rest of my POPSUGAR team. At my house, we buy in bulk; I'm talking 100 cans at a time because yes, it's that good. Now that you want to try Spindrift, you might be wondering where to start. Well, I've done the hard work for you, and ranked my favourite flavours. There are 11 in total, and I've tried them all. I would like to disclose that all opinions are my own, with absolutely no scientific testing to support my findings. Keep on reading, and then order some Spindrift for yourself.
Spindrift Sparkling Water, Cranberry Raspberry
Spindrift Sparkling Water, Cranberry Raspberry [4] ($18 for 24) is the only slightly biased review you'll see here. I'm allergic to cranberry, so I've never actually tried this flavour. For this reason, it goes to the bottom.
Spindrift Sparkling Water, Half Tea & Half Lemon
Of all the flavours I've tried, this Spindrift Sparkling Water, Half Tea & Half Lemon [5] ($18) is the only one that I felt did not live up to it's hype. It tastes like a watery Arnold Palmer, which is one of my favourite drinks, and I don't think there's enough flavour here. Plus, the sparkling taste just felt a little off.
Spindrift Sparkling Water, Cucumber
This Spindrift Sparkling Water, Cucumber [6] ($25 for 24) really does taste like spa water. It's refreshing, just not my personal favourite.
Spindrift Sparkling Water, Pineapple
This Spindrift Sparkling Water, Pineapple [7] ($26 for 24) is the brand's newest flavour, and the one I was the most excited for. It's delicious when mixed with a shot of vodka or tequila if you're of age, but on it's own, it felt a little sweet for me.
Spindrift Sparkling Water, Orange Mango
I go through phases with this Spindrift Sparkling Water, Orange Mango [8] ($25 for 24). Sometimes, I love it, and feel like it's the perfect summertime drink. Other times, the mango notes come through a bit too strong for me.
Spindrift Sparkling Water, Grapefruit
I don't generally like grapefruit, so I was surprised by how much I like this Spindrift Sparkling Water, Grapefruit [9] ($15 for 24). The slightly bitter and sour taste of grapefruit is there, but in my opinion, it's still palatable and refreshing.
Spindrift Sparkling Water, Lime
The Spindrift Sparkling Water, Lime [10] ($15 for 24) is crisp, refreshing, and a great option if you're a lover of plain sparkling water.
Spindrift Sparkling Water, Blackberry
Spindrift Sparkling Water, Blackberry [11] ($18 for 24) is a new favourite of mine. This has a deep berry flavour, and it's sweet and delicious.
Spindrift Sparkling Water, Lemon
This Spindrift Sparkling Water, Lemon [12] ($15 for 24) might be the most classic Spindrift flavour, but it does not disappoint. If you're trying to ease someone into sparkling water, this is the flavour to go for. It's crisp, refreshing, and always a good idea.
Spindrift Sparkling Water, Strawberry
In my opinion, the Spindrift Sparkling Water, Strawberry [13] ($18 for 24) is an underrated winner. It really tastes like strawberry, and might be the sweetest flavour, but it doesn't feel overpowering or saccharine. This tastes like candy to me, and the sparkling flavour balances perfectly. If you're a soda lover, I'd try this flavour.
Spindrift Sparkling Water, Raspberry Lime
Well, we made it to number one, and I think the Spindrift Sparkling Water, Raspberry Lime [14] ($18 for 24) is fully deserving of the top spot. It's a little bit tart, a little bit crisp, and a little bit sweet. The citrus and the berry come together perfectly, and whenever I want to introduce Spindrift to someone new, I recommend this flavour. I could drink it every day and not get bored.
Spindrift The Drifter Pack
If you still can't pick a favourite flavour, you can try them all, thanks to this Spindrift The Drifter Pack [15] ($25).
