AVEC reviews and discussion

Reviews mention

  • Natural ingredients, clean taste
  • Distinct, inventive flavor pairings
  • Light, refreshing carbonation
  • Low-sugar, guilt-free profiles
  • Occasionally weak flavor intensity
  • Bitterness in citrus varieties
  • Spice level inconsistently balanced
  • Doesn’t always complement dry spirits

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.

  • it really a wonderful sparkling apple juice by itself. Cardamom is one of my favorite spices and flavors so these are really amazing. Delicious!

  • AVEC is my favorite mixer to keep on hand. I love drinking it for low sugar, easy party drinks that everyone can make different. I usually go with Spiced Mango + Rum or Fuji Apple + Whiskey. I do love them for tequila too!! Way less sugar than FeverTree, Q, etc. And way tastier than gross artificially flavored or sweetened mixers. LOVE!

  • I am bot a big drinker so I drank this by itself. It tasted great. I like that it was less sugar and I have something to sip on when other people are drinking alcohol.

  • I am a big fan of AVEC! I’ve tried both of their flavors and they’re delicious. I’m recently sober so these are great mixed with seltzer for a nice little mocktail!

  • No longer really a drinker so I tried it as a mocktail. Taste was fine but nothing to keep me coming back for more.

  • I tried the hibiscus and pomegranate and it tasted like cherry cola! Yum!

  • One of the first subscription products I’ve tried and have enjoyed it thoroughly so far. Especially love the jalapeno/blood orange - all flavors are great on their own or used as cocktail mixers

  • I ordered the sampler pack and thought it was actually exceptionally delicious and totally worth the price. Also loved the size of the cans themselves. Excellent on their own and also mixed with spirits. My 2 favs: Jalapeno & Blood Orange and Hibiscus & Pomegranate. The sweet/sour/bubbly balance is perfectly fine-tuned, and I like that they use real sugar, vs. something artificial. High fives all around.

  • I love AVEC and exclusively use it whenever I have guests over and want to impress them with great cocktails. My favorite is the yuzu and lime. While they are designed to be mixed with alcohol, they are also fantastic on their own!

  • Do NOT buy from this company! I never received my order. Their website does not show that my order even ever shipped- 8 weeks ago. I emailed customer service SEVERAL times for a refund and have never received a response. Then I receive an email from the company saying they are going out of business! I emailed customer service and the CEO and still no response. I filed a complaint with my bank hopefully they will get a refund on my behalf.

  • Love AVEC as a stand alone drink. Particularly like the ginger one and the jalapeño variety. Unfortunately, am unable to locate any store in Aurora, CO that still offers them. It’s like they went out of business? Hope not!

  • Surprisingly good, complex flavors to enjoy as a cocktail or mixer. Definitely pricy but nice to have on hand at a dinner party.

  • Didn't really like the flavor, found it to be too dry. The cans are lovely and very visually appealing but wish the flavor was better. I got the green one (apple cardamom).

  • Super flavorful and all of the spices and fruit blended together great. Not too sweet at all, but very rich and unique.

  • Absolutely lacked in flavor, but the little flavor that was there was kinda nice. I've had Yuzu Lime and Jalapeno Blood Orange and well they both just didn't do much other than kinda water down drinks. Even drank a can straight-up and added sugar since these aren't that sweet. Nothing really helped.

  • I tried the jalapeño and blood orange flavor and definitely will be trying out more in the future. We tried these both on their own - spicy and delicious- and as an easy mixer with both non-alcoholic and alcoholic spirits. The flavor was fun and different and really worked just as well on its own as in a mixed drink.

  • I really liked these!! I think the flavors are unique and delicious

  • I decided to try the Yuzu and lime by itself, and I really enjoyed it. The lime flavor is great, and the Yuzu gives it a nice kick. I'm thinking that this would be good in a mixed drink. I'm not sure I understood the can holder, it seemed like a lot of plastic and not too good at holding them together. Great product, I would recommend this product.
