About: I don't have much of a reason or an excuse for making this. For those of you who aren't aware, these are just flavored sparkling water drinks. They unfortunately aren't alcoholic (white claws might be your fix for something like that). If a flavor doesn't have a review that means I haven't tried it yet (I'll get there one day). To try to keep things interesting this list isn't organized in any specific order.

Tasted and rated: 23 (92%)
Left to try: 2 (8%) (that I know of)
notes: originally I have always been against this flavor and I think that is partly due to personal bias. after a re-review of this flavor I found it fairly appealing, and better than the regular Lime flavor. I get a smooth sweetness from this flavor.
rating: ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐
notes: a solid choice for any time of the day. mixed results have been had with this flavor, not to say that the results were unpleasant. speaking from experience, it will occasionally be sweeter than other times (in a good way). it is important to note that the citrus is pronounced and well balanced with the carbonation.
rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
notes: this flavor was a favorite but has recently fell below it's initial rankings. raspberry drinks have historically not floated well with me. the additional presence of cranberry has made this relationship feel growingly problematic. overall very personal, but still vital to my ranking.
rating: ⭐⭐
notes: one of the best citrus flavors, if not the best. I would say that it is superior over orange. as it stands, this flavor provides the best balance of carbonation and citrus.
rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
notes: my expectations for this flavor were like a rollercoaster. it started high, but went down fast. this flavor is something that you cannot find in any store and has to be ordered, which added to the suspense that came with trying it. imagine drinking combination of 99% water and the other 1% is the urine of someone who drinks a lot of cola. that is this flavor. I wanted this to succeed but all it was the flop of the decade.
rating: ⭐
notes: on paper this flavor seems like an exciting and refreshing choice. the issue that I have is the tea presence being too low and being closer to plain water than anything else. and I know that isn't saying much for this brand of seltzer. if the tea was stronger it would have gotten a higher rating.
rating: ⭐⭐⭐
notes: another floral-based flavor, this one should surely be a hit! NOT. I wish it was, but it's a complete miss in my eyes. there a sort of earthy texture to it that I don't find very pleasant at all. it sort of reminds me of the first time I've tried lotus flower tea for the first time, only not as intense. (sorry to all of the lotus flower tea die-hards out there, if there are any of you) The thing that I can most compare it to, if you've every had it, is to "Kasugai Fruits Gummy" -specifically the mixed variety pack. Imagine you're eating those, but with no artificial flavor, only the chemically after-taste of the candies.
rating: ⭐
notes: I'm not sure if someone could mess up this flavor. I like the appearance of both fruits being light. personally, pineapple does not strike me as my favorite thing in the world but I feel like the this drink pulls everything off just right.
rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
notes: If I could sum up this flavor in one short phrase, it would definitely be "the tangerine wannabe". I am not at all inspired by this flavor or what it stands for. I feel like it might have something to offer but most of it has already been done before.
rating: ⭐⭐
notes: the way this flavor soothes your problems in life cannot go without mentioning. pear is very nicely represented here and as it should be for being such an amazing fruit.
rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
notes: everyday I wake up thinking "why does this beverage actually exist". it has absolutely no flavor and is so pointless, but at the same time I cannot find myself to hate it. it's probably all in the design of the can.
rating: ⭐⭐⭐
notes: the thing about la croix is that the taste is almost always spot on with the name of the flavor. this can either be a curse or a blessing. I would say that for this instance, it sways toward a curse.
rating: ⭐⭐
notes: after a dinner that has a lot of red meat this is the perfect way to wash all of that down. there is something about this flavor that makes it feel like a worthy substitute to a beer.
rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
notes: to be frank I had no idea what this flavor even was. after discovering that it is an Italian liquor, I can understand why it is so weird. there is a hint of lemon but most of it gives me a vanilla tea vibe that feels out of place. I couldn't say that it is for me because I am not a fan of this combination.
rating: ⭐⭐
notes: this one hits all of the right notes but I wish it hit them a little harder. I also wish the scent was more potent as I don't really pick up on anything. I love black raspberries so I am inherently biased, but damn this is a good flavor.
rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
notes: you have to keep in mind sparkling water is an acquired taste, and has to be remembered if critiqued. this flavor isn't going to be like tasting a sweet and cold slice of watermelon on a hot summer day, no. even though I understand this, the flavor unfortunately gives off too much of the taste of the rind and not enough of the refreshing red pulp.
rating: ⭐⭐
notes: right away there isn’t much about this flavor that screams “mango” to me. overall it is fairly nice and quite refreshing.
rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
notes: for some reason this drink has more energy in it compared to others. I feel like a bunch of mini elves are brushing my tongue as I take a sip. the flavor is solid and has a good pizazz.
rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
notes: I tried this flavor right after Key Lime. to be quite frank I don’t notice that much of a difference. the only word i can use to describe it is that it’s a “sharper” version of Key Lime. the carbonation also seems stronger but that might be due to the fact that the Amazon delivery woman dropped my package of drinks and dented some cans.
rating: ⭐️⭐️
notes: this is very pleasant and I regularly want to purchase a case of this flavor. at first I was going to give 4 stars but then I snapped into my senses.
rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
notes: fairly true to an apricot but is not my favorite out of the bunch. apricots are great fruits but i've never been drawn to anything flavored after it.
rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
notes: picture this; you went to the beach on a bright and sunny day. you saw a plum growing from a nearby tree, picked it, and ate it. that’s the type of tone this flavor sets. I bet you wouldn't have guessed that in your wildest dreams. however, i’m not even sure if plum trees grow near beaches.
rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
notes: this sort of reminds me of the cucumber 'aqua fresca' drink that I like to make from time to time. I find that to be one of the most refreshing drinks that I like to make. bonus points for the fact that it gives me the vibes of a drink that actually has substance unlike every LaCroixs ever!
rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
notes: hands-down this is the best aroma in terms of their lineup of drinks. this LaCroix is the equivalent to the feeling of walking through the perfume section at Macy's. actually it's more like the smell of your crush when you hug them. I wouldn't know because I don't like anyone. oh no we're getting personal.
