These are my top three favorite sparkling water brands of 2023.
1. LaCroix
A classic
2. Waterloo
A new favorite
3. Spindrift
A pop of flavor
LaCroix
A classic
LaCroix, since childhood, has always been a favorite of mine. The wide variety of flavors and classic, simple taste are the best parts of this brand. I gave a .5 deduction because the brand is often critiqued for being too carbonated.
Rating:
4.5/5
Favorite Flavor:
Lemon
Least Favorite Flavor:
Limoncello
Waterloo
A new favorite
I tried this flavor for the first time several months ago, and I cannot get enough of it. As someone who drinks sparkling water daily, I find the lemon-lime flavor to be a perfect balance of lemon and lime without being too sweet. I gave a .8 deduction for some of their more fruity flavors, such as grape, black cherry and blueberry.

Spindrift
A pop of flavor
While Spindrift offers a pop of flavor in comparison to other sparkling water brands, sometimes the taste can be too much. Made from juice, Spindrift has very strong flavor. While having one once every week is delicious, having a Spindrift everyday is a bit too much. Additionally, as someone who is a big fan of mojitos, the Nojito flavor disappointed me.
