The Right Way to Pronounce "LaCroix"

Content: Oh right, duh. While the name may seem to come from a strictly French background, that's only partly true. The "La" part comes from La Crosse, Wisconsin, and the "Croix" part comes from the St. Croix river (the one between Wisconsin and Minnesota), where the drink was originally made. Of course, the St. Croix river was named by the French in the late 1600s during the French and Indian Wars. The confusion around it make sense, however. Americans seem to have to have a knack for butchering French words (just look at the word "caramel.") But no matter how you say it, LaCroix is certainly the beverage of our time. Cheers to fun and fizzy water, however you pronounce its name. SHARE
