Spindrift, known for its sparkling water with a twist of fruit, recently launched two new flavors: Island Punch and Grapeade. Intrigued by the promise of tropical and nostalgic tastes, we decided to put them to the test.
Island Punch:
This flavor boasts a blend of passion fruit, orange, and guava juices. Testers found it to be refreshing and not overly sweet, with a prominent guava flavor balanced by a tart passion fruit finish. One reviewer even declared it to be “everything I love about tropical fruit punch without the cloying sweetness.” If you enjoy guava or passion fruit, this is definitely worth a try!
Grapeade:
This flavor aims to capture the essence of the classic grape soda. Opinions were divided on this one. Some testers found it to be a spot-on recreation of the familiar grape taste, while others felt it leaned more artificial and lacked the depth of real fruit. If you’re a fan of grape soda, you might enjoy the nostalgic taste. However, if you’re looking for a more natural flavor profile, you might want to stick with the Island Punch.
Overall:
Both Island Punch and Grapeade offer unique flavor experiences within the Spindrift sparkling water range. If you’re looking for a refreshing and tropical option, Island Punch is a strong contender. If you’re curious about a sparkling water take on grape soda, Grapeade is worth a try, but be prepared for a potentially artificial taste.
Remember, taste is subjective!
What one person loves, another might not. The best way to find your favorite Spindrift flavor is to grab a can (or two) and experience it for yourself.
