Spindrift

I'm always looking for something new to drink and I got this brand in their grapefruit flavor today. It's basically carbonated water with juice added. It really tastes like grapefruit . There is no added sugar and a 12 oz. can has 17 calories. Have you tried other flavors, and if so which ones , if any, do you like.? TIA

I see they also add lemon and orange juice to this flavor.

I like Spindrift too! It is more expensive than other flavored water, but a worthwhile treat for me, especially on road trips.

@QVCkitty1 I thought you were mentioning a personality trait. Didn't realize it was a brand name. Never heard of it.

I like the Lime flavor.

I have tried other flavors as well. I like them at first but after awhile there is something strange about the taste. Using the fruit juice, which I agree is a great idea, changes something in the taste/texture profile.

@Kachina624 I was thinking the same thing also lol. I've never seen that brand in my area but I have had others.

"Spindrift" happens to be one of my favorite words. Didn't know it was a brand of anything.

It's the spray off the top of a wave blown back over the crest by the wind.

Just a guess but @Kachina624 might have misread the word as spendthrift?

That's why I posted about the wave spray of actual "Spindrift". I just like the sound of the word. And of course I love the looks of the action. We see here it here a lot. Well anywhere, actually, where there are waves and wind.

@QVCkitty1 Yep I get them at Sam's club. The Raspberry is really good, as is the lemon and lime. I don't drink sodas but I like the bubbly.

Today I was in Ollie's and they had Evian sparkling waters, 6 for 1.99. I got raspberry, mint, and the lime. I like them and for 1.99 it's a pretty good deal. I may go back and stock up for summer because they were going fast. But I really like the Spindrift brand -they are good.

Not how I want to spend my carbs.

@JeanLouiseFinch the waters are carb free if you are talking about carbohydrates.

Ummm, you might want to check the nutrition labels on their website, @bmorechick . Fruits have carbs. Fruits purée is added to the sparkling water, so yes, there are some carbs in the sparkling waters. I don't see any dietary fiber listed that would offset that.

I like my Strawberry Bubly. Zero calories zero carbs. And it isn't sweet so it doesn't wake up my carb cravings.

@JeanLouiseFinch Well that's good to know! I am a runner and need those carbs for energy, even though I'm guessing it's not much.

A good friend/co-worker loves this stuff. He gave me one to try and I'm actually going to have one with my lunch today. I think the flavor is raspberry lime. He said his favorite flavor is blackberry. He has found it at Target but ours doesn't carry all the flavors.
