The New LaCroix Flavor Hitting Stores This Winter Is Downright Summery

January is always kind of a drag. Once the holidays are over, the frigid weather that seemed cute and cozy in December persists, and instead of frolicking through powdery white snow you find yourself dragging ass through gray sludge and cursing god. All you can do is psychologically transport yourself to warmer days—and LaCroix is releasing something in January 2026 that should help, at least a little. 

Yep, a new LaCroix flavor is dropping in January and it’s taking cues from an iconic summertime bev. They don’t call it LaCroix Piña Colada, but LaCroix Pineapple Coconut surely has the Piña Colada vibes we’ll be craving this winter.

Pineapple Coconut LaCroix sounds famils—why is that?

Well, there could be a couple of reasons. For one, LaCroix Coconut already exists. It’s one of their more controversial flavors—a lot of people seem to think it tastes too much like suntan lotion smells—but it’s actually one of our favorites. The other reason is that other sparkling water brands have already dabbled in this flavor profile. Bubly’s Coconut Pineapple flavor launched back in 2021. And in 2024, Waterloo released a line of three sparkling “mocktails” in partnership with Guy Fieri, and one of them was called Pi-ño Colada (get it?). We have great news on that front: We absolutely LOVED Waterloo’s version; it earned 9.5 Sporks, which means it’s practically perfect. We wrote: 

“It’s bright and tropical and refreshing. The coconut flavor is warm and round, but the pineapple flavor really brightens things up.”

As long as they don’t screw up the ratios, this new LaCroix flavor has a good chance of being just as delicious. You’re dubious, I can tell. Sure, if you think LaCroix tastes like the vague memory of fruit flavors, it might be a letdown. But hey, there’s always the best Piña Colada mix—guzzle that if you need a pick-me-up instead!

When and where can I get my hands on this summery substance?

The brand simply says “January 2026”—no exact date—but I’d be surprised if we didn’t start spotting 8-packs in the wild even sooner. The flavor isn’t a store-exclusive, so expect to see LaCroix Pineapple Coconut wherever you usually do your grocery shopping in the U.S.
