Who We Are

At Spindrift, we're making every beverage a positive force of nature. Founded in 2010, we believe the best flavors come directly from nature. That's why every Spindrift beverage is made the hard way—with real squeezed fruit, never from concentrate. From sourcing the best-tasting fruit globally to maintaining a carefully honed manufacturing process, we believe in doing things the hard way, the intentional way, the better albeit more challenging way, the right way - because, in the end, it's worth it.

Spindrift® sparkling water is available nationwide, and Spindrift® Tea and Spindrift® SODA are available in select markets. We are also a proud member of 1% for the planet, donating to environmental causes. Spindrift is headquartered in Newton, MA.
