Non-caloric, non-caffeinated, and highly carbonated, LaCroix is the cure for any case of cottonmouth. It’s no surprise the resurgence of this sparkling staple and the uptick of legal bud on a national level go hand-in-hand. Hotly debated by flavor haters and devotees alike, the 21 current flavors** of LaCroix are steeped in controversy.
