This La Croix Paloma is so light and refreshing! It’s one of my favorite La Croix Cocktails, especially for summertime! With fresh grapefruit, a hint of lime, tequila, and La Croix grapefruit flavored sparkling water; it’s the perfect low-carb, low-sugar cocktail!

I love my wine, but when it’s hot and humid outside, nothing beats a lighter cocktail that’s not heavy on sugar. I find that La Croix cocktails are perfect for summertime, just like this paloma!

La Croix Paloma

There are two things I love about summertime – dining al fresco and floating around in the pool on a lazy afternoon. Both events call for a low carb cocktail – if that’s your thing. Plus, you could totally make this a mocktail by leaving out the tequila, totally your choice.

I know La Croix sparkling water can be an acquired taste on it’s own, but I promise you that when combined with the other ingredients in this Paloma, it’s refreshingly delicious.

Ingredients for a La Croix Paloma

  • 2 oz. tequila
  • 2 Tbsp. lime juice
  • 16 oz. La Croix Grapefruit flavored sparkling water
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
  • pinch of salt
  • fresh grapefruit slices

How to make a La Croix Paloma

  1. Add ice to two tall glasses.
  2. Pour 1 oz of tequila into each glass, then add 1 tablespoon of lime juice to each glass.
  3. Next, pour 8 oz of La Croix Grapefruit sparkling water to each glass.
  4. Finally, pour 1/4 cup freshly squeezed grapefruit juice into each glass.
  5. Top with a pinch of salt and add fresh grapefruit slices.

Recipe FAQs

Is La Croix good for hydration?

Plain water is always your best choice for hydration, however, La Croix sparkling water will hydrate you and is a much better choice that high-sugar soda or juices.

Does La Croix have sugar?

No, La Croix sparkling water has zero sugar and zero calories.

Is La Croix Keto friendly?

Yes, La Croix is Keto friendly.

Is a Paloma low sugar?

The specific sugar content will depend on the type of grapefruit juice added. If using freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, this Paloma has less than 3 grams of sugar (estimated). If less carbs and/or sugar are needed, you could eliminate the grapefruit juice and just use the La Croix Grapefruit flavored sparkling water.

    This is a very refreshing drink. The only tweak was to add and additional .5 oz Tequila to each glass. Will keeping making it and will definitely serve it to guests. I give it 5 stars!
