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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I liked the taste overall but it was a little sour for my taste. I hoped there would be a more cardamon taste which is why I bought this flavor.

Avec was delicious! I really enjoyed having it on its own because the flavor was so good.

Even though this product is a mixer to mix with alcohol, I chill it in the fridge and drink over ice without mixing anything and it tastes amazing. It’s a nice crisp, cold, refreshing pick me up for late afternoon when I’m at work. And, despite being good on their own, I have found that Avec has been such a great alternative to sugary or boring mixers and will is also excellent with both zero proof and regular spirits. Highly recommend this product!

I am generally not a fan of any low sugar fruity beverages to mix with my alcohol as they are usually too fake and artificial tasting. However, these Grapefruit and Pomelo drinks from AVEC are a game changer. The flavor was light and crisp and tasted almost like I was getting a freshly squeezed cocktail from my an exotic beach restaurant. I loved the fact that these are portable and so easy to crack open and add alcohol to while at any event. I picture having these readily available for my next pool party or sports tailgate!

A nice focused amount of fizzy bubbles, not overpowering. Unique and thoughtful flavor pairings that aren't overdone in the sector. Would try more flavors! I would like a larger size option

This was tasty! I tried the Fuji apple and cardamom. It tasted a lot like a low sugar ginger beer, but slightly more complex. Great on its own!

I had the mango passionfruit. I don't drink alcohol so I had it straight - very good on its own. It's not as sugary as other mixers like Q, it's just like a flavored seltzer.

Best for mocktails and also for prepared drinks for a nice evening with friends. I enjoyed my spicy mango perfect combo with some tequila.

Love the availability, the quality, and the unique flavors available. Great alternative to the usual NA beverages offered, which tend to be too sweet and not have interesting flavors. I definitely recommend

Great drinks with fun pleasure! I don't do alcohol but these are a great bevy nonetheless. :) Would recommend! That said, I hope that they make some more less acidic flavors (eg not fruit) in the future because I care about my teeth!

Delicious sparkling beverage that I ended up enjoying entirely on its own, not mixed with alcohol -- although that was my intention! I found the Fuji Apple and Cardamom flavor to be crisp and taste great, with the right balance of apple and spices. The perfect amount of sweetness for a solo beverage, which is even better if you're mixing with alcohol and want to tweak the flavors, IMO.

I found Avec at my local Wegmans in four different flavors and tried the Apple & Cardamom flavor because it felt right for the season (thinking I would mix it with whiskey for a holiday drink). So far, I've only tried it alone and found it to be quite refreshing and not too sweet. My 14-year-old agreed with me. I like the variety of flavors and that it's not super-sweet or incredibly carbonated. The packaging is stylish, and as a French teacher, I appreciate the product name. As someone who doesn't drink that much alcohol or soda, it feels like a bit of a splurge, but a worthy one. This is something I would bring as a hostess gift or to have around for guests.

I'm doing dry December and these are a nice, tasty alternative to alcohol! I tried the grapefruit and pomelo - it's fun and refreshing! I am really trying to cut down on sugar, so I do wish that the sugar content was even lower than it already is, but at least it's just from the fruit juice itself.

Really enjoyed this drink on its own - it’s like a sparkling water with a bit more flavor. I thought it was pretty good as a mixer but since there’s no sugar it doesn’t completely mask the taste of the alcohol! Still tasted pretty good - I mixed mine with vodka

Interesting flavor and pairs well with tequila. I didn't give it 5 stars because I had to go super out of my way to get it at a store near me.
This is really the first NA cocktail I’ve tried and it was so good! I drank it plain and honestly, it kind of tasted and felt like I was drinking an alcoholic cocktail. I plan on mixing my next one with some vodka or gin, but I really don’t even think these need alcohol added.
I got Avec for free through a promo and really enjoyed it! I tried the Jalapeño Blood Orange flavor and it was delicious. Great substitute for a spicy margarita.

I mixed Avec's Jalapeno and Blood Orange soda with vodka, and it hit all the right flavor notes--lightly sweet, a spicy but not unbearably spicy and fizzy tingle, and a refreshing citrus zing. And while enjoyed it, I don't know if I could drink more than one can at a time. Which is probably not a bad thing, given that one small can costs more than my usual grandiose bottle of soda water.
I picked these up for a halloween party and they were pretty good! I was only able to get the blood orange and jalapeno one, which was citrus-y and had some heat to it. I'd love to try the ginger one and the yuzu lime one. I liked that they were a good mixer but also good on their own for those that dont drink.
I liked it and my sister really enjoyed it! I used it as a mixer. I tried the pomegranate one but I will try other flavors.
