12 Best Sparkling Waters to Quench Your Thirst in 2025

Perrier Sparkling Mineral Water earned its high rating in our testing thanks to its iconic, brisk bubbles and distinctive mineral taste that really quenches thirst. During our review we found the strong carbonation and variety of citrus, berry, herbal and other flavor options make it versatile for pairing with meals or cocktails. At 0 calories and free from artificial ingredients, it feels like a premium everyday upgrade — but note the higher $53.75 price and 9/10 score reflect that it’s a splurge for many.

S.Pellegrino delivers a classic, clean mineral profile that in our testing paired beautifully with food or stood on its own as a refined thirst-quencher. We found the medium carbonation offers a more subdued bubble experience compared with aggressively fizzy brands, which many will appreciate, but occasional reports of bottles arriving with low carbonation ding its consistency. At $10.60 and a 7.5/10 score, it’s a dependable, restaurant-ready choice if you want subtle minerality over brash bubbles.

In our testing, Sparkling Mineral Water impressed with its strong, highly carbonated profile that delivers a crisp, refreshing sip ideal for cocktails or pairing with meals. We found glass bottles retain bubbles far better than plastics, and during our review some plastic bottles arrived with low or no carbonation — an inconsistency that undermines the experience. At $18.99 it's a premium pick, and our experience shows that price plus occasional flat bottles keeps it from broader appeal. It scored 7/10—great fizz in glass but variable reliability overall.

Bubly’s Sparkling Water Variety Pack is a budget-friendly, 0-calorie option we found delivers a cheerful range of natural fruit essences without added sugars or artificial ingredients. In our testing the strong carbonation gives an immediate fizz that some of us loved for cocktails and mixers, though a few tasters thought certain flavors were too subtle and could use more punch. At just $3.43 and an 8/10 score, bubly is a great grab-and-go pick if you want variety without breaking the bank, but bring a straw if heavy bubbles bother you.

Lemon Sparkling Water stood out in our testing for using real lemon juice, which gives it a bright, natural citrus snap that feels far fresher than many flavored seltzers. We found the medium carbonation strikes a nice balance for sipping straight or pairing with food, and at only 3 calories it’s a guilt-free flavor boost. During our review it earned an 8.5/10 for taste and quality, though our experience shows the $7.99 price may be a deterrent for budget shoppers.

Hint Peach Raspberry is a zero-calorie, no-sweetener option we liked for its clean ingredient list and natural fruit essences, plus it’s vegan, gluten-free and kosher which makes it versatile for different diets. In our testing the medium carbonation offered a gentle fizz, but we found the peach-raspberry combo can come across underwhelming or slightly artificial to some palates. Priced at $12.99 with a 7/10 score, it’s a health-forward choice—just manage expectations on flavor intensity relative to the cost.

Aura Bora’s Cactus Rose is a playful, artfully canned sparkling water we enjoyed in our testing for its unique herbal flavor and zero-calorie, all-natural ingredient list. During our review the medium carbonation felt smoother than most and the floral-cactus blend is refreshingly different, though some of us noted flavors can be subtle and may lose fizz faster than expected. Priced at about $1.00 and scoring 8/10 in our guide, it’s a stylish occasional treat—especially if you value creative flavors and standout packaging.

In our testing, Sound Blood Orange & Vanilla is an organic, unsweetened sparkling water free from artificial ingredients with light carbonation — a smart pick if you prioritize clean labels and zero calories. We found the blood orange and vanilla notes delicate and nuanced, but that subtlety may disappoint drinkers who want bolder flavors. During our review the $4 price felt a bit high compared with mainstream seltzers, and our experience shows it’s best as a mindful sip or cocktail mixer. It scored 7.5/10.

Bear Maple Farms’ Ginseng Tonic in Lemongrass Mint is a low-calorie, herbal sparkling option sweetened with maple water and infused with ginseng. In our testing we appreciated that it contains under 10 calories per can and avoids artificial sweeteners, giving a clean, functional sip that can help focus and reduce stress. We found the light carbonation pleasant for sipping, though the earthy ginseng note is strong and may not be for everyone. At $31.20 and a 7.5/10 score, it’s a niche, premium pick rather than an everyday crowd-pleaser.

If you’re into stylish gear, the Reusable Sparkling Water Bottle has a sleek look and a handy handle that we found kept water cold for long stretches and made it easy to travel with. During our review the bottle’s design impressed us, but our experience shows customer service hiccups — some buyers reported wrong colors or even incorrect items shipped — and the hand-wash-only care is less convenient. At $39.00 and a 6.5/10 score, it’s a fashionable, functional choice if you’re willing to accept occasional delivery risk.

Hal’s New York Lime Seltzer is a clean, 0-calorie, sodium-free option that during our review appealed to anyone tracking sugar and carbs — it ticks all the boxes for a health-conscious seltzer. However, we found the lime flavor leans underwhelming and slightly bitter for some tasters, and packaging woes like damaged or leaking bottles in transit hurt the overall experience. Priced at $35.63 and earning a 6/10, it’s a sensible choice if health stats matter more than bold flavor.

Mountain Valley Sparkling Water stood out in our review for its exceptionally crisp, refreshing taste that felt notably premium on the palate. During our testing we found the medium carbonation and clean minerality pair well with meals, but the heavy glass bottles make it less practical to haul in bulk and the $49.49 price reflects that premium positioning. With a 7/10 score, it’s a flavor-first pick for special occasions rather than an everyday carry.
