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.

  • I'm always on the lookout for mixers that not only enhance the flavor of my drinks but also align with my preference for quality ingredients and lower sugar content. Enter AVEC, a brand that has disrupted the cocktail mixer market with their commitment to using real ingredients and less sugar, specifically designed for mixing with alcohol. AVEC sets itself apart by using only real, high-quality ingredients in their mixers. From fresh fruit juices to natural botanical extracts, each component is carefully selected to deliver an authentic and nuanced flavor profile. The Fuji apple flavor was beyond wonderful i highly suggest. One of the most appealing aspects of AVEC's mixers is their lower sugar content. Unlike many commercial mixers that are loaded with artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup, AVEC opts for a more balanced approach, allowing the natural flavors of the ingredients to shine without overwhelming sweetness. This not only results in a more sophisticated taste but also makes for a healthier cocktail option. A notable feature of AVEC mixers is their versatility and compatibility with a wide range of spirits. Whether you're mixing with vodka, tequila, rum, or whiskey, AVEC's mixers seamlessly integrate with your chosen base spirit, resulting in well-balanced and refreshing cocktails every time. The mixers are also easy to use, requiring no additional ingredients or complicated recipes, making them perfect for both amateur mixologists and seasoned bartenders alike. From their commitment to real ingredients and lower sugar content to their diverse flavor offerings and mixability, every aspect of the AVEC experience is a testament to their dedication to quality and innovation in the world of cocktail culture.

  • This beverage was a great mixer. I loved the unique varieties. It makes for very delicious cocktails. I had the jalapeño blood orange one and it was good with tequila. Tasted like a great margarita.

  • Not really my favorite thing. It was okay. I personally wouldn't get this again. I didn't like the taste of it.

  • Happy hour delight. This was just the right amount of refreshing and tart to be a great after hours mocktail

  • Thanks to Thingtesting I had the chance to try AVEC in the blood-orange jalapeño flavor. Was difficult to find in my Sprouts, would never have seen it without a real search. Tried it over ice, and with sparkling water (both ways no alcohol). Flavor was OK, needed some heat if Jalapeño is on label. Not sure if I’ll buy in the future. Many similar products, although would like to try the Yuzu-lime, which wasn’t on the store shelf.

  • Tasty and not too sweet

  • I tried the spiced mango and passionfruit. I really enjoyed it! It was mildly sweet which I appreciated. The hint of spice was subtle— I honestly would have enjoyed more! Nice carbonation. Overall a refreshing drink. I drank it alone, but I’m sure it would be good mixed with non-alcoholic spirits for a fun mocktail!

  • Excellent composition and taste! Ideal for summer cocktails! I like it.

  • The spiced mango & passionfruit flavor was unexpected, as it has a strong almond flavor. Overall, I enjoyed the beverage as a dessert, since the almond flavor made the drink taste sweeter/ did not work as a beverage to accompany my meal. I tried the beverage on its own, and I am looking forward to trying with alcohol as well, and potentially other flavors! Love that it has relatively low sugar for a mixer.

  • Alone, very good. Refreshing and flavorful. With mezcal, I felt the flavor was lacking. Also, you need to mention the can needs a swirl/shake. We had a lot settle when we tried it. Our neighbors also enjoyed it.

  • unique flavors and great taste! Great as a cocktail or a mocktail.

  • It was good, lacking a little bit of outstanding flavor and sweetness, especially mixed with dry spirits. I ended up mixing some OJ and lemon in mine. I think it’s good to try other flavors, I wish they had a variety pack.

  • I brought the Yuzu and Lime. It was very refreshing and I drank it alone. You can find the taste of a little bit sour and a little bit sweet. The taste is good to me. Moreover, it is less sugar. You can mix it with alcohol or drink it alone.

  • Tried Fuji Apple and Cardamon - what a great flavor. No aftertaste - the mixture is great. I love the cardamon spice

  • Crisp & refreshing! Light fizz and light taste. I love how low the calories are. You can have it straight with no guilt! I usually drink it alone but I’m sure it tastes great with alcohol. It’s essentially flavored water with unique and natural ingredients. I tried the grapefruit flavor!

  • I like tase a new drink

  • I really like the flavor variety and the can size is perfect for 1-2 drinks. I have purchased the blood orange and jalapeño 4 pack and enjoy it mixed with vodka at the end of the day. I recently ordered the variety pack and will order more of several of the flavors. This makes quality cocktails at home a slam dunk!

  • this is a quality product with unusual flavors. I tried the Mango Passionfruit with some vodka and liked it. I hope to try the Yuzu Lime soon.

  • Loved the unique flavors and clean ingredients – a great alternative to traditional cocktails for a guilt-free, enjoyable mocktail experience. Ideal for any social occasion or a relaxing night at home.

  • I saw an ad on Instagram to buy a 4-pack of AVEC at Sprouts and get reimbursed. I jumped at the opportunity and was pleasantly surprised with how delicious the beverage was! So crisp and light and refreshing. I tried the blood orange& jalapeño flavor and it was the perfect combination of spicy and sweet! I drank it as a mocktail, but it would make an insane margarita or Paloma!
