LaCroix sparkling water is the perfect alternative to unhealthy beverages being that it is all natural. Drink it daily because it is zero calories, zero sweeteners, and zero sodium, making it completely innocent. When it comes to entertaining, create festive mocktails with LaCroix sparkling water. Any thoughtful host or hostess should always provide a non-alcoholic option for their guests. LaCroix comes in 20 different flavors, making it hard to pick just one, so in addition to serving single cans at parties, the Mure Pepino Lemon Fizz is perfect in a spring mocktail. Simply muddle blackberries, lemon juice and a little bit of honey in the bottom of a glass, pour in a can of LaCroix Curate Mure Pepino, add ice, and voila!
