    I love La Croix. My favorite flavor is Coconut.

    I don’t buy it anymore now that I have a soda stream hooked up to a 5lb CO2 tank

      You went directly to the tank? I’ve been filling co2 bottle with minimal success.

        Yes! I bought one of these and run it right to the tank without a regulator. I close the tank after every use. Currently I swap the tank at a local liquor shop, but there’s a welding supply place I will likely switch to in the future to get a better price.

        Supposedly you can refill the smaller cylinder tanks but I think this is easier

          I bought the adapter to fill the bottles but i believe they have a valve protector of some type. I have to fill really slowly and if i open the valve to much they stop. Even if i freeze them i can only get them about half full. I got my tank from a keg shop. I think it was about $80 and $20 to refill. I’ll check for the hose adapter to the machine.

            You may have to turn the tank upside down to fill the small one with liquid co2 instead. At least that’s how I’m getting best results.

              I’ve tried different things - freezing, upside down, etc. It’s hard to hold everything without a helper. I just bought the adapter to contact straight to the machine. Will see how that goes tomorrow.

    Mojito time! Minty lime goodness just in time for the new year. This is one of my favorites.

    It all depends on the flavor really. Some are done better by Bubbly (mango). I like Soleil’s Blood Orange out of all the citrus ones.

    I hated it until I got older. It’s an acquired taste, but once you like it, it’s super refreshing.

    I enjoy a Lacroix depending on the flavor- Passionfruit is my favorite. The top tie, first round pick for sparkling water in my book is Topo Chico. Add a little bit of lime juice and a splash from a ginger bug on the rocks and you have a spicy treat

    A coworker of mine refers to it as “crack water” because he drank so much. I like it better than any other brand of seltzer water.

    Some flavors are better than others. Bubbly makes a comparable regular lime, but La Croix has the best key lime which I prefer.
