AVEC reviews and discussion

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 pomelo flavor of these, and they were very good! A little on the bitter side compared to some other brands I’ve tried, but anyway, that was good because it made them different.

  • Fun cocktail mixers! Not very sweet - so if you don't like sugary cocktails, this is the mix for you. A bit on the pricey side, but still fun to drink or use as mixers.

  • Very tasty and unique flavors! I found these are good to drink even just by themselves. I like how they don't overdue the sugar. Of course they are even better with alcohol as a mixed drink!

  • So good! I tried this without alcohol and these are super tasty. I’m sure it would be great as a mixer but equally as good by itself.

  • The yuzu/lime flavor is delicious! These are nice both on their own, with N/A spirits (like Ghia), and with alcohol

  • I was pleasantly surprised by my experience with Avec. I tried this as an NA alternative, and the flavor is interesting and unique. I could see it working well mixed with Seedlip. I’m honestly not sure I’d like it as well if used as a mixer with alcohol.

  • Really good on its own! I intended to add whiskey, but it was great by itself and made me feel like I was drinking a cocktail.

  • Pleasant overall but a bit flat/underwhelming. I did not try it with alcohol, just as a mocktail, but could see it being a good base for a cocktail if you add citrus/spice to amp up the flavor profile. I tried the mango/passionfruit and would consider trying other flavors.

  • I tried the fuji apple and cardamon and unfortunately didn't like the taste at all. It was bland and not that fizzy. Perhaps I didn't mix it with the right drink. The pricepoint is also high.

  • Delicious and super citrusy! Would be great with tequila. However, the price ($2.75/can) is a bit high for what's almost Spindrift with a higher amount of juice. Even fevertree (which has a comparable yuzu mixer) is cheaper.

  • I am so obsessed. Avec makes amazing quality, tasty drinks worth the hype and cost. I love their grapefruit/pomelo, the jalapeno/blood orange. I am not a fan of their spiced mango, unfortunately, and had high hopes. It tastes like weak, potpourri juice. That being said, the good flavors are AMAZING plus light on the sugar.

  • As far as spritzy fruit beverages go, this was pretty great. Like a lighter Pellegrino soda. Not too sweet and was great over ice with mezcal.

  • Honestly drink this by itself and enjoy it. I like that it’s carbonated, crisp, and flavorful.

  • I really wanted to like these because I’ve been looking for carbonated beverages that work as mixers or by themselves, but this one was pretty disappointing. I tried the Grapefruit & Pomelo flavor and it tasted just like a grapefruit LaCroix with slightly more flavor. I tried it both by itself and with tequila and neither were that good. As an aside, I tried mixing it in my iced matcha just for fun, and it was actually quite good.

  • It tastes absolutely amazing!!! I got to try the pomelo and it was delightful

  • Their Yuzu and Lime was really tasty, tasted like actual Yuzu and Lime with the zest. Small bottle though, and it does not seem like a full package for a drink. Cost and sizing makes it seem not worth it to me despite it tasting very good.

  • Simple, clean, low sugar, with a strong enough profile to stand up to alcohol as well as being enjoyed on its own. Perfect liquid volume.

  • Have been trying these out over the last few weeks. Prefer the Jalapeño and Blood Orange. These are a perfect mixer and you can drink them as they are ass well. Very convenient when you want to try something new, just add it in! Just a bit pricey.
