What Is The Best Lacroix Flavour?

And so we have our answer to the question of what’s the most popular flavor of LaCroix water in the office — Grapefruit. Rounding out the top three most popular flavors are Tangerine followed by Pure (plain). The least popular flavor in the office is Peach-Pear, making up only 1.6% of LaCroix sales.

The grapefruit flavor from La Croix is an amalgamation of citrusy and candied goodness. Zing it for amazing fruity goodness. Grapefruit is one of the most basic, yet popular flavors of La Croix.

We Tried 14 LaCroix Flavors & This Is the Best

• Pamplemousse.
• Coconut.

The 18 Best (and Worst) La Croix Flavors, Ranked

1. Lemon. I wasn’t expecting this at all, but Lemon—by far—was my favorite flavor.
2. Cerise Limón. This is most definitely my family’s favorite flavor along with mine.
3. Tangerine.
4. Pamplemousse.
5. Muré Pepino (Blackberry Cucumber) This drink smells—and tastes, to be honest—like a Lush bath bomb.

“Natural flavors in LaCroix are derived from the natural essence oils from the named fruit used in each of the flavors,” the statement continued. “There are no sugars or artificial ingredients contained in, nor added to, those extracted flavors.”

What is the best grapefruit to use in a pamplemousse?

If Pamplemousse doesn’t quite do it for you, but you still want that gentle grapefruit taste, Melón Pomelo is an excellent choice. Expect smooth notes of melon that transition into a citrusy conclusion.

1. Tangerine. Considering there is no sugar or sodium in their sparkling water, some of LaCroix’s greatest hits are of the citrus variety. Tangerine especially hits that refreshing sweet spot between too much flavor and too little. 2.

Arguably the fanciest sounding drink from the brand, Pamplemousse offers a unique taste that you can only really get from using the French word for “grapefruit.” Admittedly, however, it can be an acquired taste if you are transitioning from soda.

Wisconsin-based company LaCroix has been sweeping the nation with some of the best sparkling water on the market. These zero-calorie beverages are sugar- free and non-GMO, which makes them enticing for those trying to avoid sugary sodas this summer.

As far as lightly flavored sparkling beverages go, Lemon is the middle of the pack. You aren’t going to dislike it , but you probably aren’t going to love it either . It starts out tart and tastes a bit salty somehow, but it’s still good.

It’s important to note that Mango LaCroix does not taste like a mango at all, so if you go into each sip thinking you’re going to get that tropical sweetness, you’ll be disappointed. All in all, it’s pretty decent if you want to try something different.

As one of the signature “Curate” flavors, this refreshing beverage comes in a taller can than the more traditional flavors. It offers just the right balance of cucumber and berry, making for a sold zero-calorie drink.

Does mango seltzer taste like candy?

While our tasters were confused as to why a mango-flavored drink was in a green can, they enjoyed the fruity taste of this seltzer. One taster noted that the mango LaCroix was “loaded with flavor,” and another editor said it smelled like candy.

The orange LaCroix flavor fared worse than tangerine in our taste test. Our tasters loved the scent of this seltzer, with one editor saying it “smells like a Creamsicle.” But the general consensus was that the flavor was too strong, and this flavor left an unpleasant aftertaste. One taster even compared it to a Flintstones vitamin, and not in a positive way.

True to form, this seltzer smelled exactly like dried apricots . But our tasters thought this flavor tasted artificial, which is why it landed towards the bottom of the list. “The artificial flavor leaps out,” one editor said.

The scent of the cran-raspberry Lacroix also resembled the smell of Sprite Remix, a berry-flavored soda from the early 2000s that’s been discontinued. While nothing can replace the late soda, this LaCroix flavor is a tasty, healthier substitute.

Amid a number of very specific LaCroix flavors, the vague “berry” is a bit of a mystery. But our tasters enjoyed this seltzer, even if they didn’t know exactly what was in it.

If you’re drinking LaCroix straight from the can, you might not smell each flavor as much. But when you’re sipping it from a cup, the scents are very strong with these fruit flavors. And while some of them were delicious, our editors weren’t fans of the Passionfruit smell.

Tangerine. “I tend to not like seltzer that’s too fruity, but this is quite mild,” one editor wrote of the tangerine LaCroix. Others praised the fresh scent of this flavor, with multiple tasters saying it reminded them of eating oranges after playing outdoor sports.

Does La Croix have passionfruit seltzer?

Though many on the team have never had actual passionfruit, they love passionfruit seltzer. The real produce can be very tart, but La Croix’s take on it isn’t too bad.

At first sip, the peach flavor seems very sweet. But this one grows on you. “It has the most robust flavor,” explained one taste tester. We can’t explain why the peach-pear pairing works, but it does.

What is the fruit in Pomme Baya Lacroix?

The “berry” in the “apple berry” of Pomme Baya LaCroix is cranberry, and while I’m not really into cranberry, the apple flavor of the Pomme Baya LaCroix comes through strong enough to make it a winner. Almost begs the question why LaCroix paired them in the first place.

The flavors that you might second guess elsewhere work well for LaCroix because they’re so subtle. 4. Melon Pomelo. Like most “slashy” LaCroix flavors, Melon Pomelo is heavier on one flavor than the other—in this case, pomelo over melon.

But LaCroix is for people who have already resolved themselves to the grim fate of dieting. Its metallic flavor has a half life of about six hours, and the taste is like beer or wine, in that you have to get used to it over time. In fact that’d be a great slogan! “LaCroix: You Get Used To It.”.

Coconut. Coconut seems to be the most hated flavor of LaCroix, and while it’s not my most-disliked, I get it. The taste is like eating an entire tube of coconut scented Lipsmackers. However I’d still rather drink it than Berry or Pure so it only ranks third-lowest on this list.

Kiwi Sandia (Kiwi Watermelon) I have never had anything “kiwi flavored” that actually tasted like kiwi, so it comes as no shock that Kiwi Sandia LaCroix tastes primarily like watermelon. But that’s a good thing. The flavors that you might second guess elsewhere work well for LaCroix because they’re so subtle. 4.

The Lemon flavor of LaCroix isn’t bad per se, but it’s definitely boring, and LaCroix is bitter enough as it is without deliberately adding citrus fruit into the mix. I enjoy using Lemon in mixed drinks or as a lemonade filler but I don’t like it enough to keep the flavor stocked in my house.
