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 tried the Jalapeño Blood Orange flavor. I wouldn’t describe this as a mocktail, but instead as a slightly elevated sparkling water. The jalapeño taste does come through strongly, but I didn’t find it to have such a sophisticated taste that I’d choose it over other mixers, nor was I inclined to drink it on its own.

  • I really liked AVEC. I loved the taste and the packaging was very aesthetically pleasing. I chose it as an BA option, but could see how it could be used as just NA or with alcohol. The high price point was kind of disappointing, but I think for special occasions I would buy this again

  • These mixers were so good - both on their own and with the addition of alcohol!

  • I don't know if I picked an unfortunate flavor or if it's better with alcohol, but the Grapefruit & Pomelo flavor was bland and almost bitter. I couldn't detect any of the sweet pomelo or bright grapefruit notes that I expected. It was more of a generic citrus flavor. I had two other members of my household try it and it was a let down. It isn' so bad that I didn't drink it, but I would not recommend. I do like the concept and I expect that the other flavors are better.

  • Loved this! Enjoyed it on its own, as well as paired with mezcal. The flavor was pleasant solo, but really sung when paired. Eager to try the other flavors - just wish it came in a variety pack!

  • I love Avec! I found them at my local store a few months ago and have been hooked ever since. My favorite flavor is the Yuzu Lime

  • A really wonderful mocktail in a can. Love how the flavors are more spicy and savory vs the overly sweet mocktails I’m used to. Only complaint is the price - $10 for 4 cans is pretty steep

  • These are so different and convenient for going to parties and other gatherings! I tried the new Fuji apple flavor and it paired well with both vodka and whiskey. Everyone who tried my drink asked what was in it!

  • I tried the apple cardamom flavor which was delicious and unique. I enjoyed the sparkling quality of the beverage and plan to try it next with whiskey.

  • Been obsessed with AVEC for a few years now. Love how many flavors they have, and how well they mix with spirits (especially tequila!!). I do drink them solo too, just over ice as a non-alc drink. I love the branding and packaging too!

  • I absolutely love the Jalapeño & Blood Orange flavor! I picked it up on a grocery run to Sprouts which was convenient. It’s delicious alone on ice to enjoy as a zesty, low-cal mocktail (truly helps get me through a long workday). What I loved is that for nights I’m drinking, it pairs well with my favorite mezcal or blanco tequila! Highly recommend if you’re looking to cut both sugar or alcohol

  • I loveee the Hibiscus & Pomegranate. It is so tart and pretty color without any nasty stuff in the juice. It is so good with vodka but sometimes in the day I will just drink an AVEC instead of a soda when I'm craving something different than water or seltzer. Def recommend!!!

  • Great low sugar drink

  • Loved the packaging on the can, the matte pink was slick and had a nice touch to it. I enjoyed the mix of the floral & sweet but with only 4g of sugar it was a refreshing mix to our vodka soda drinks we make. Only tip would be to explore supporting flavors to dress it up to feel more of a premium cocktail (ie. botanicals, herbs, etc) something that adds to a bit of the elevated experience.

  • Tried the spiced mango one - tried it on its own with dinner and it was really good

  • I love grapefruit, and it isn’t one of my favorite fruit flavors much. But I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this grapefruit and pomelo sparkling cocktail when I mixed it with root beer. Because the flavor didn't really grab me.
