I pride myself on drinking more sparkling water than pretty much anyone else I know, and La Croix is definitely one of my top go-tos. Whether I'm sipping it straight up or using it in La Croix cocktails, it always brings a moment of total refreshment. I personally feel you can't go wrong with their classic Orange, Lemon, or Pamplemousse varieties, but I also look forward to trying new La Croix flavors as they come out. And this spring, La Croix is debuting a new flavor I personally can't wait to try: Cherry Blossom!
What exactly does Cherry Blossom taste like, you ask? According to La Croix's website, "a botanical twist of sweet and tart, the dazzling taste of blossoming Spring!". Sounds good to us. We think this flavor would be absolutely perfect in this particular La Croix mocktail:

Cherry Blossom La Croix and Lavender Mocktail
(Makes 2 10-ounce drinks)
Ingredients:
Lavender Simple Syrup:
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons food-quality, dried lavender
Mocktails:
- Ice
- 6 ounces cherry juice
- 2 ounces of lavender simple syrup
- 4 ounces Cherry Blossom La Croix soda
- Whole cherries or other fruits, to garnish
Instructions:
1. To Make the Simple Syrup: Add the water, sugar, and lavender to a small saucepan over high heat. Whisk to combine and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to steep for about 30 minutes, covered.
2. Strain the lavender buds from the liquid and discard. Allow the mixture to cool. You can store the simple syrup in a glass container in the refrigerator for about two weeks.
3. To Make the Mocktails: Add ice to a cocktail shaker and to 2 (10-ounce) glasses. Add the juice and simple syrup to the shaker. Shake, then pour evenly into the glasses. Top each drink with the La Croix. Garnish with cherries or other fruits of your choice, and enjoy.
