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 Hibiscus flavor and while it was good, I usually prefer my drinks to be a little sweeter!

  • 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.

  • 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!
