Key Lime La Croix Cocktail

This Key Lime La Croix Cocktail is a refreshingly light cocktail that’s low in both carbs and sugar. With a refreshing key lime La Croix sparkling water, vodka, and fresh key lime juice, it’s the perfect light cocktail of choice! This is my new favorite La Croix Cocktail recipe! I’ve also included a mocktail option if you prefer that route!

There’s really nothing I dislike more these days than a sweet, sugary cocktail. I just can’t do them anymore. I switched to simple La Croix and vodka cocktails and have never looked back.

With the range of La Croix sparkling water flavors, you can recreate just about any of your favorite cocktails into a light and refreshing La Croix mixed drink!
