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 love these drinks. I’ve tried three different flavors so far. They’re delicious just on their own like a soda or with non-alcoholic spirits to make a mocktail.
I had been wanting to try AVEC for awhile, and now that Sprouts is getting into stocking more NA brands I finally able to! I quite enjoyed the flavors I’ve tried, and the cans are bigger than a brand like De Soi but still smaller than a regular drink can. I wasn’t completely blown away by it, but it’s a solid choice for a canned NA drink

I tried the Spiced Mango and Passionfruit flavor and liked it. I had a couple of sips of it on it's own, which was nice in that it was not too sugary and not too bland. It's right down the middle, which for me is exactly what I am looking for - think more flavorful sparkling flavored water. I then mixed it with white rum and it was delicious as a mixer. If you're looking for a low calorie, complex-flavored, quick and easy cocktail mixer - this is a great option. I look forward to trying the other flavors!

The fuji apple and cardamom flavour is incredible! I am sober so I did not mix this with any alcohol, but just as a mocktail alone, I will absolutely be purchasing these again!

I tried the pomelo and grapefruit and found it to be delicious! Alone, or in a mocktail, it was sophisticated and not overly sweet.

I split it with alcohol and drank it. It was delicious

My friend used to work for them so she’d always bring them over & all I remember is being really grossed out by the taste! I will give them another try someday but not soon
I picked up a 4-pack of the Jalapeño and Blood Orange flavor through the "try new things" program. I'd originally intended to try the Yuzu and Lime flavor, but those were sold out at my local Sprouts. I was a little concerned that the jalapeño might be too strong here, but I was pleasantly surprised. For the most part this tasted like a nice citrusy sparkling beverage, no super strong flavors (I do with the blood orange flavor was stronger), but quite tasty. I think I enjoyed drinking this by itself a bit more than when I added tequila to make a cocktail because it felt like the tequila flavor (I did about 1.5oz to about 2/3 of the can) was a bit overpowering and it needed more lime juice to balance the drink out, but they did go well together. By itself the flavor is much more noticeable while still being light, not very sweet, and refreshing. I think these are fun options as mixers and nice fancy feeling sparkling drinks on their own. I'm interested to try some of their other flavors and would recommend!

I tried their Jalapeno/Blood Orange because it was the only one available at the store, I definitely would have gone for another one of their flavors. However, I must say even for a combination I didn't think was gonna work, it was delicious! With and without alcohol. I like that they are low on sugar but don't taste gross, they definitely don't over sweeten it.

I tried the hibiscus pomegranate flavor, and overall it was not something that I would use as a mixer. There really wasnt that much flavor there and it wasnt sweet at all so the flavor did not come through once mixed.

I bought a four pack of Yuzu and Lime flavor. By itself, the bubbles are nice and has interesting depth of flavor. I did find the Yuzu to come off a little bitter. Mixed with some gin and simple syrup, it's refreshing and comes off as a cocktail you'd get at a nice bar - depending on how you mix the drink.
The Jalapeno & Blood Orange flavor is soo good! I was torn between this and the other flavors but it tastes delicious on its own -- will need to report back on how it tastes as a mixer! Not overly sweet and no weird aftertaste.
I once wrote an actual love letter to this company imploring them to come to Canada and to do so ASAP. The flavours were interesting, I loved being able to have one (delicious) and well sized, cocktail at the end of the day without a lot of prep.

I wish they were more readily available north of the border.

An uninteresting nonalcoholic beverage that is lacking the bite of real alcohol and the flavor of any drink ever
Honestly can’t say enough about how much I love Avec’s flavors. Minimal ingredients, real fruit juice, no/low sugar, under 30 calories. This is what soda should be. Love these straight out of the can or mixed with spirits or my fav for Dry January, mixed with some NA spirits like Seedlip.
Delicious. Guilt free mixers finally.

bigger cans so i can drink them straight!!
Interesting flavors. Wasn’t too effervescent. I don’t like things that have too many bubbles. Overall, it was fairly light.
Such a great option for my fellow cocktail girlies.
I really enjoy these drinks, especially the jalapeño flavor. It captures the true spiciness of a cocktail, and goes great either by itself or if you want to use it as a mixer for anything. They aren’t too high in carbs, either. Only downside is they are kind of pricy for non-alcoholic drinks

Love the low sugar content and the sophisticated flavor…but it was a bit bland to be consumed on its own, not to mention VERY PRICEY! I would definitely try other flavors if this were to go on sale, but it didn’t wow me enough to pay $8.99 every time I want a slightly sophisticated NA beverage.
