While there's no official recommendation for how much water you should drink daily, staying hydrated is essential for warding off weight gain, maintaining mental clarity, and even regulating body temperature.

We combed through the dozens of options to find the 10 best sparkling water brands that will help you stay hydrated and crush soda cravings without all the added sugars soft drinks are spiked with. Stock up and get to sipping!
Spindrift
Depending on the flavor you choose, Spindrift's calorie, carb, and sugar contents will fluctuate. However, all flavors are sweetened with real squeezed fruit that lends the sparkling water brand a subtle yet invigorating flavor. We love adding the Strawberry flavor to a glass of chilled white Zinfandel for an easy take on wine spritzers.
