Giant's store brand seltzer is actually pretty good. The lime seltzer tastes almost like soda to me. the grapefruit is pretty good too. La croix is poo poo, tastes so bad.

Spindrift is really good but I like just plain sparkling water with a squeeze or two of a lime if I'm feeling fancy and a packet or two of Simply Lime if I'm feeling lazy and don't have any fresh limes.

Haters. Gonna. Hate.



I’ve been drinking seltzer since I gave up soda in like 2005. It took about 3 months to get used to the lack of sugar, but now even a sip of sugar soda makes my teeth hurt and my mouth feel coated. I stick to citrus flavors, they seem to work the best.

Spindrift is the only one I like for reasons mentioned earlier, but it is overpriced. Here in MN I've seen it at Target and CVS.

I tend to drink herbal tea instead though. Much cheaper if you buy it loose leaf.

Spindrift definitely has more flavor than anything else I've tried. I think I might like it after a few more.

buy flavorless carbonated water and berries or other fruit you like and muddle it in when you pour some. like a mixed drink without the booze. you can buy just a ton of flavorless carbonated water or get a kegerator to make your own (helps if you also brew)

Oh god. Seltzer is my favourite non-alcoholic beverage but it becomes completely undrinkable if it isn’t cold.

Lime. Alternatively: lemon.

Seriously, just get a Sodastream and a paintball tank adapter and a couple of 12oz paintball tanks. You can get them filled at any paintball place or sporting goods store for a couple of bucks while the genuine Sodastream Co2 cylinder costs like $16 here to exchange for a full one, and only one Walmart in my area even stocks them. I paid for the tanks and adapter in less than a month. Also there is no such thing as food grade Co2, Sodastream just uses that to scare people. I quit drinking canned soda at home entirely and just drink Sodastream seltzer with some lime juice twisted in. Sometimes I use homemade lemonade syrup to make fizzy Arnold Palmers with fresh brewed iced tea.

You need to use chilled water and add the syrup after you carbonate it. Basically read the drat directions and you'll be fine.

you also can't go wrong with perrier or san pell, or anything else french or italian really
I've drinken a lot of carbonated water in my life and actively drink way more than is probably healthy, but Perrier or San Pell is just label and there's no real difference between then and most other brands. Paying more for no reason. My favorite, because it's cheap, is just a Costco Pallete of Crystal Geyser plain. The Kirkland Sparkling Water in bottles is also good. Avoid the CG flavored ones, they suck rear end. It's almost amazing just how actively bad a lot of the pre-2010s flavored sparkling water is.

People said Spindrift and Waterloo, and I'll second those. If you want flavored carbonated water, those are my go-to hands-down. La Croix is very iffy, their really basic flavors are utterly bad, the Berry/Passionfruit is alright; however, their best flavors are the ones in the smaller cans like Kiwi Cucumber/Watermelon Lime/etc. Still, better off getting Spindrift or Waterloo

Not :emptyquote:

No "essence" or "fruit flavor" will come close to a freshly squeezed lime dropped into your iced seltzer/sparkling water.

The San Pellegrino Essenza thin cans are pretty tasty by themselves, and pretty flavorful to boot. Just put some lime in it.

I guess some people think it's weird to put lime juice into lime seltzer?

I stood there in the aisle at my local King Soops for a couple minutes wondering if any of these would actually be decent and couldn't commit to a 12 pack without any kind of taste or recommendation. Have you tried the cola or whatever the other flavors are? I'll probably scoop up one of the Dr. Pep and give it a whirl tomorrow.
