The beginning of July means higher temps, lots of sunshine and plenty more fun activities coming your way. We know you’ve already found the perfect bikini and beach towel to get down and dirty in the sand with, but don’t forget about staying hydrated!

We’ve already snagged the best La Croix cocktails for you, but just in case you want to keep things a little lighter (or are in recovery mode!), here are 14 of the most refreshing La Croix mocktails to help you with the rising heat index.
