I fell in love with Spindrift last summer, though it may be more accurate to say that I fell in lust. Spindrift, if you don't know already, is a line of sparkling water flavored with fruit juice, and their packaging is sexy AF. I was in Provincetown when I first saw it, waiting in line at Canteen for a late-night oyster roll. It was summer; boys in short-shorts and tank tops surrounded me. I couldn't have cared less—I only had eyes for a can of lemony sparkling water.

You know how this story typically goes: fall in lust with a product and take it home, only to have it disappoint. This happens to me all the time. But with Spindrift, things were different. The lemon-kissed bubbly tasted vibrant, alive, piquant, and refreshing. It both quenched my thirst and jolted me awake at the same time.

Spindrift's marketing line is that they're "America’s first and only line of sparkling waters made with real squeezed fruit." That's cool, I guess, but I'm less concerned with which drink came first and more concerned with what I want to drink when I'm blissed out on the inflatable pink swan my friends keep in their pool. Or what I'll want to pack in my survival kit (read: cooler) when I trek out to the beach. Or what I want to see when I open my fridge on those August days when it's too damn hot to cook, and in fact too damn hot to eat—too damn hot to do anything at all except drink bubbly water.

In the past that bubbly has been Vintage Seltzer—or, when I wanted a flavor, LaCroix. The Vintage cans will never go away (the bond between us is too strong), but given the choice between LaCroix and Spindrift, I'm currently choosing the latter.

Specifically I've fallen for that lemon flavor I saw in Provincetown. But I also like the blackberry, and—perhaps most of all—a brand new flavor, orange-mango, which is the sweetest Spindrift I've tried. (Don't get it twisted, it's just barely sweet—the hallmark of Spindrift is that it highlights a fruit's natural tartness. This, I think, it what makes the drinks so satisfying.) Also new as of today is a strawberry flavor, which is bizarre but not unpleasant—it focuses on strawberry's sour notes instead of the sweet ones.

But honestly, I won't be picky when it comes to Spindrift. They're all equally delicious, all equally as handsome. Give me the cucumber, or the grapefruit, or the raspberry-lime. I don't care, as long as I have a can in my hand. I can't help myself, honey. Spindrift has me thirsty.
