This pineapple tangerine LaCroix mocktail is a bright, icy, and refreshing summer drink made with sparkling water, pineapple juice, lime, frozen peaches, and plenty of crushed ice. It is the perfect non-alcoholic beverage for warm afternoons, backyard gatherings, brunches, and easy summer entertaining.
Every now and then, a good mocktail is exactly what the moment needs. Not every celebration has to come with alcohol, and a thoughtfully made non-alcoholic drink can feel just as festive, flavorful, and fun. This pineapple tangerine LaCroix mocktail has all the qualities of a great summer beverage: it is cold, lightly fizzy, naturally fruity, and simple to make in just a few minutes.
There is something wonderfully nostalgic about a frozen drink. It brings to mind vacations, pool days, beach trips, and those warm evenings when dinner stretches late into the night because no one is in a hurry to leave. A virgin daiquiri may be the classic throwback, but this sparkling mocktail slushie gives that same refreshing feeling with a lighter, brighter twist. The combination of tangerine sparkling water and pineapple juice tastes sunny and tropical without being heavy or overly sweet.
The best part about this recipe is how easy it is to serve. You do not need a complicated bar setup, special tools, or a long list of ingredients. A blender does most of the work. Frozen peaches help create the slushie texture while adding mellow fruit flavor in the background. Fresh lime juice brings balance and keeps the drink from tasting too sweet. The Tangerine LaCroix adds bubbles, citrus, and a clean finish that makes each sip feel crisp and refreshing.
This is also a great recipe to keep in mind when hosting guests who do not drink alcohol, are taking a break from drinking, or simply want something fresh and hydrating. A beautiful mocktail makes everyone feel included. It is pretty enough for a party, casual enough for a weekday afternoon, and easy enough to make again and again throughout the summer.
Pineapple Tangerine LaCroix Mocktail Slushie
- 1 cup Tangerine LaCroix
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- Juice 1 lime
- 1 cup frozen peaches (or a banana if you don’t have peaches!)
- 1 tray of ice
Add the Tangerine LaCroix, pineapple juice, fresh lime juice, frozen peaches, and ice to a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth, icy, and slushie-like. If the drink is too thick, add a small splash of additional LaCroix and blend again. If you prefer an extra-frozen texture, add a little more ice and blend until it reaches your desired consistency.
Pour the pineapple tangerine mocktail into chilled glasses and garnish with a slice of lime. For a little extra sparkle, top each glass with an additional splash of LaCroix just before serving. This keeps the drink bubbly and gives it a fresh, fizzy finish.
This sparkling pineapple mocktail is especially delicious when served immediately, while the texture is still icy and light. It works well for summer get-togethers, outdoor lunches, baby showers, bridal showers, family barbecues, or any occasion where you want a refreshing drink that everyone can enjoy. The flavor is tropical without being too rich, citrusy without being sharp, and sweet without feeling sugary.
If you do not have frozen peaches, a banana can be used as suggested in the ingredient list. The banana will make the drink creamier and slightly sweeter, while the peaches keep it lighter and more fruit-forward. Either option blends nicely with pineapple and tangerine, so use what you have on hand.
