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.

  • tried the ginger flavor and the jalapeño & blood orange flavor thus far, and both are great! somewhere between a soda and a juice and a cocktail (or mocktail) - delicious flavor and not too sweet. the ginger was my favorite of the two, but both had a nice distinct flavor & weren’t too sweet. had these sans (ha) alcohol, but would make for a great mixer too.

  • Really impressed. I enjoy mocktails and was excited to try the grapefruit and pomelo flavor. It does have smoked salt and I was worried that would be overwhelming, but it wasn’t at all! Just a nice balance to the sweetness of the fruit and bourbon extract. Not too sweet, just right for sipping and relaxing. Refreshing, I’ll purchase again!

  • I had the Jalapeño & Blood Orange flavor and honestly loved it. I drank it as a soda/carbonated beverage as opposed to using it as a mixer, but after drinking it I got excited to buy again and mix with tequila and ice and make a marg this summer. I appreciate that AVEC is low sugar (and no fake sugar) and thought the spice and flavor was actually really delicious without being too subtle or too much.

  • This is a great mixer to add with alcohol to make cocktails or it is also great to drink on its own. I like the flavors and they taste very refreshing. I would mix it with tequila for a nice margarita with friends.

  • This needed up being great drink mixers. We tried most of them with gin and all the flavors were great. Good for enjoying a quiet evening at home with a good drink.

  • They are fun both as a refreshing standalone non-alcoholic drink or mixed with vodka. I love that they're not too sweet, just the right amount of sugar, and the flavors are also quite unique and fancy too.

  • AVEC is like the glow-up your cocktail hour didn’t know it needed. These mixers are bright, bold, and low in sugar—without skimping on flavor. Whether it’s the Jalapeño & Blood Orange, Yuzu & Lime, or Ginger, every can packs a punch with real ingredients and a modern twist.

  • Over priced and flavors are very hit or miss. Disliked the jalapeno flavor especially as it was just way too spicy and hit the back of my throat in an unpleasnt manner.

  • I like this product and have tried multiple flavors. I wish they were a little less sweet, but overall they are great mixers.

  • These are good either individually or mixed drink. I took them over for a gathering and it was enjoyed

  • I tried the apple one and it was good!! I bought at sprouts and drank them all in the same week. Just a little pricy

  • Pretty good by itself or with alcohol. I like the different flavors and portable size.

  • The grapefruit and pomelo flavor makes a great mixer for a quick margarita or punch. It also has great flavor on its own or with a splash of lime juice to make a tasty mocktail.

  • The spiced mango and passion fruit was great both alone and as a mixer. The spice was not overpowering, and instead hit at the back of the palate at the finish. A nice option if you don’t have time to mix a cocktail from scratch and still want to enjoy something a bit elevated.

  • I drank this by itself and I was really pleased with the flavor! Not too sweet, and had just the right amount of bubbly

  • Very yummy! I enjoyed both flavors I tried, though the added spice was not necessarily my favorite. I appreciate that they offer low sugar mixers.

  • I'm sober, so I drank these as-is... the lime & yuzu flavor was nice, but for what essentially amounts to a fruit-sweetened seltzer, the small size & high price would keep me from buying it regularly. If I was into making mocktails at home, it might have more utility for me, though.

  • Will definitely be buying these again! I bought the Spiced Mango flavor. I have been using it as a base in my cocktails at night. Delicious taste and low in calorie!
