No matter the occasion, you can’t go wrong with a vodka cranberry. I prefer my cocktails to be light and refreshing, without a lot of heavy sugars. Using La Croix as a base for many of my cocktails, like in my Strawberry Rosé Spritzer (perfect for patio drinks with friends), or my La Croix Paloma (perfect for taco night) allows me to create refreshing twists on classic cocktails.
