LaCroix . . . its very name alone should be enough to make your mouth water. With zero calories, sodium, carbs, sugars, and basically devoid of anything unhealthy, LaCroix positions itself as the perfect summer mixer. Sure, adding in alcohol will add in some unhealthy qualities, however, we all need some time to relax.
