AVEC impresses in reviews as a low-sugar mixer and standalone sparkler that tastes fresh, clean, and often “crisp,” with standout flavors like Jalapeño & Blood Orange, Yuzu & Lime, Grapefruit & Pomelo, Hibiscus & Pomegranate, and Fuji Apple & Cardamom. The brand’s unique, natural flavor pairings and balanced fizz win parties and mocktail hours, though multiple reviewers cite mild/underpowered flavor, occasional bitterness or strong spice, and note some flavors don’t hold up with dry spirits.
Ironically I liked these as a mixer more than as a standalone. The yuzu flavor was probably my favorite but I didn’t feel like this was any sort of alcohol replacement, more so just an interesting beverage. Don’t think I’ll order again unless they’re on sale.
I really liked the yuzu and lime flavored one of these I tried. I had it by itself with no alcohol. The taste reminded me of sour candies, so it brought back good memories. I appreciate that this only has good ingredients in it.
The flavor was very tropical and the hint of almond was amazing. I didn’t taste any spice and I think I have a pretty low spice tolerance. I’d like to try a couple of other flavors. I love that it is a 1% For The Planet company.
Love these bubbly drinks for mocktails since I don’t drink. They also go great with adding your favorite liquor for those who prefer alcohol. Yuzu lime and jalapeño blood orange are my favorite flavors.
AVEC creates beverages with real ingredients and less sugar that are designed to be mixed with alcohol.
