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.

  • A small can but very interesting flavor. I will mix it with some liquor - such as Ouzo - to spice up the flavor. I also tried it on it's own and was overwhelmed by the truly wonderful taste. I tried it also with some tea and it also was a great beverage.

  • I purchased Alec Fuji apple and cardamom drink at Citarella. The drink has a great apple flavor with a hint of vanilla and spices. It tastes like sparkling apple cider. Great by itself or mixed with a shot of vodka.

  • I bought the Yuzu-Lime flavor, and really liked that it's unsweetened and non-alcoholic. It makes a great base that I can have as-is, or add some sugar to, or add a liquor to! We made a mixed drink using it, and loved it!

  • By far one of my favorite non-alcoholic beverages. The jalapeno blood orange is the BEST. I've enjoyed trying almost all the flavors through their sampler pack but will 100% continue to repurchase the jalapeno blood orange flavor.

  • These are a healthier mixer alternative. I bought the ginger flavor to make a mule and it was good. I have also tried drinking these on their own as a mocktail but wish they were sweeter.

  • Very hard to find at the stores at is is within the alcohol section and the label is unassuming. Once located I was able to taste and try the Fuji apple and cardamom. Certainly a different and welcomed flavor that is refreshing. We enjoyed and would purchase again.

  • Avec - The Spirit Whisperer: Making My Drinks Happier Than Me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Move over, spirits! Avec has swaggered into the mixology scene like a party-crashing unicorn, and my taste buds are still doing the cha-cha. This mixer is like the cool kid at the bar who effortlessly blends in with any crowd – it's the social chameleon of the beverage world. First things first, Avec is lighter than a feather at a diet party. I tried mixing it with everything from my grandma's vintage gin to my neighbor's homemade moonshine (don't ask), and it danced gracefully with each one. It's like the Fred Astaire of mixers, making every spirit feel like they're gliding across my palate in perfect harmony. And can we talk about sweetness? Avec has mastered the art of sweetness subtlety, unlike that one friend who overdoes it with sugar in their coffee. It's not too sweet, not too bland – it's the Goldilocks of mixers. I mean, I've had relationships less balanced than this mixer's flavor profile. The natural tasting flavor is a game-changer. It's so authentic; I half expected to find a tiny bartender shaking a cocktail shaker inside the can. I'm convinced Avec's flavor comes straight from a secret garden where mixologists grow magic herbs under a full moon. Move over, unicorn tears – Avec's flavor is the real mythical elixir. In conclusion, Avec is the MVP of mixers. It's the perfect wingman for your spirits, the Gandalf to your cocktail fellowship. I've stocked up so much Avec, my liquor cabinet looks like it's auditioning for a cameo in a mixer blockbuster. If you want your drinks to be the life of the party, grab Avec. It's the mixer that turns every sip into a celebration – and who wouldn't want that? Cheers to Avec – the spirit whisperer, the flavor savant, and the mixer that's making my drinks happier than my therapist ever could! 🍹✨

  • These are good but I prefer other chasers. I won’t buy again.

  • 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.
