Spindrift Is a Better Flavored Seltzer Than LaCroix | Eater
"Made with real fruit juice (typically 3–10% per can), these seltzers deliver recognizable fruit flavors — about 15 calories and a couple grams of sugar per can — instead of the ambiguous “natural flavors” many competitors rely on. The added juice gives drinks an actual taste: cucumber reads like spa water with bubbles, strawberry is slightly sweet without being cloying, and the Half and Half (an Arnold Palmer riff) tastes balanced rather than watered down. The brand has moved away from using natural flavors in some varieties, comes in standard cans and tallboys, and is commonly found at upscale grocers and neighborhood bodegas (the writer orders in bulk). Compared with zero-calorie rivals that use undisclosed flavor chemicals, these cost a few calories but are considered markedly better-tasting, to the point that switching can make other seltzers seem unpalatable and lead to stockpiling." - Lindsey Weber
