LaCroix Mojito Taste Test; Does it Avoid the Dreaded Toothpaste Territory?

You know me Bay Area folks – I’m a LaCroix fanatic. Those refreshing bubbles and fruity flavors are a lifesaver during the East Bay’s super hot summers.

But when LaCroix dropped their new, non-alcoholic Mojito flavor, I was a bit nervous. Mint can be a tricky flavor in drinks–add too much, and your beverage ends up reminding people of toothpaste!

Armed with a can of LaCroix Mojito sent to me by the company (I get to taste their waters before nearly anyone else, which is very cool), I decided to give it a whirl.

First things first, the can is super summery – bright colors, a beach scene, a picture-perfect mojito.

The moment I cracked it open, I was expecting a strong lime flavor, but a big whiff confirmed that mint was definitely the star of the show.

Sipping time! The lime was actually a bit subtle, letting the mint flavor really shine through. That makes sense, as LaCroix already makes a Lime flavor. They probably want the Mojito flavor to taste different enough so the two don’t compete.

Still, I’d advise LaCroix to bump up the lime flavor just a bit in this one. It’s tasty, but it’s not as flavor-forward as their other mocktail flavors, like their fantastic Lemoncello water.

Overall, though, I really liked Easy to drink, super refreshing, and it’d probably be amazing as a mixer. But if you’re after that classic mojito with muddled mint, rum, and plenty of lime – this ain’t quite it.

So, the verdict? LaCroix Mojito avoids the full-on toothpaste disaster, but still leans a bit too minty.
