# Cola-Flavored Sparkling Water LaCola is LaCroix's Light and Refreshing Take on Cola By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-02-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lacola References: [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/B8SMy_9F57R/?igshid=kl3wzfwmpe9x) & [lacroixwater](https://www.lacroixwater.com/category-flavors/lacroix-nicola/) Coconut, Pamplemousse and Peach-Pear are some of the most-loved sparkling water flavors from [LaCroix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lacroix-sunshine) and fans may not even realize that the brand has its own cola-like beverage called LaCola. While the beverage brand's wide range of flavors are available in abundance to most consumers, the natural cola essenced sparkling water tends to be more difficult to come by—and even though it can be purchased online, some fans may not know to search for it, especially as the cola-flavored sparkling water has its own Instagram account. While many health-conscious consumers have already swapped light and refreshing [sparkling water drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hint-sparkling-water) for sugary soda beverages, this product specifically speaks to [cola lovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunsip-classic-cola) with its branding and sweetener-free formula.
