My kids love La Croix, so I decided to create a fun seasonal mocktail just for them – and this Peach La Croix Mocktail is always a huge hit with them in summer. I used peach La Croix as the bubbly base and added fresh lime juice, mint, and a splash of maple syrup for a naturally sweet, zesty twist. The result is a refreshing drink that feels fancy but is totally kid-friendly. It’s become a hit at our house and is especially perfect for summer birthday parties (my kids birthday are June and August!). My boys love having their own “special drink,” and I love that it’s simple, festive, and made with wholesome ingredients.

At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe. My goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

How to Make Peach La Croix Mocktail
First assemble the following ingredients:
- Peach (1/2) – Fresh peach adds juicy sweetness and a burst of natural fruit flavor.
- Lime (1 juice and zest) – Lime juice and zest provide bright, tangy citrus notes that balance the sweetness.
- Mint (4 leaves) – Mint offers a refreshing herbal aroma and cooling taste.
- Maple Syrup (2 tbsp) – Maple syrup gives the mocktail a rich, earthy sweetness with depth.
- La Croix (12 oz, any flavor) – La Croix adds a bubbly, crisp finish that ties all the flavors together.
Muddle

Tips and Tricks for Peach La Croix Virgin Cocktail
Use ripe peaches – Fresh, juicy peaches give the best natural sweetness and flavor.
Muddle mint gently – Press the mint leaves lightly to release oils without making them bitter.
Chill all ingredients – Cold peaches, lime, and La Croix keep the drink crisp without needing much ice.
Add zest for depth – Lime zest enhances citrus notes and balances the sweetness.
Strain for smoothness – Strain the peach puree if you prefer a clearer, more refined drink.
Experiment with La Croix flavors – Try peach-pear, apricot, or mango La Croix for fun variations.
Serve immediately – To preserve carbonation and fresh mint aroma, serve right after mixing.
Adjust sweetness – Use more or less maple syrup based on your taste or the sweetness of the peaches.
Garnish thoughtfully – A peach slice, mint sprig, or lime wheel makes it visually inviting.
Make a pitcher – Scale the recipe for easy serving at gatherings; mix everything except La Croix until ready to serve.
