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 got these from sprouts, and tried them on their own since it does say you can drink them on their own instead of with alcohol. It’s not great. I got the spiced mango and passion fruit and its flavor was very flat. If you don’t like sweet drinks but still like flavor, you may like this a little more, but honestly I wouldn’t recommend it.

  • I had the spiced mango and passion fruit flavor and I was honestly not a fan. I’m surprised, it sounded really good. I had it as a chaser, so maybe a mixed drink would be better. Still, I didn’t like the aftertaste and couldn’t finish it. I would be interested to try the other flavors still.

  • Good product. I like that it can be used on its own or mixed with different spirits. Little pricy for what you receive.

  • I love this stuff. You'll love it if you llike tropical flavor drinks. This product is new at my local market. You can drink with or without alcohol Very refreshing. I haven't tried it with alcohol yet. Kinda like as-is. I hope my store will continue to stock it and add more flavors. Only have one choice to choose from.

  • I may be biased because I don't like sparkling water in general & these were no different but I do think they would make great cocktails when mixed with alcohol. I like how they are low-sugar as well. Personally not my taste but to those who enjoy sparkling water this will definitely be more your cup of tea.

  • i tried the jalapeno and blood orange flavor on its own, and it was a refreshing pick-me-up with a warming kick. i'm looking forward to trying it as a mixer, and also trying out some of the other flavors!

  • I purchased the Avec Spiced Mango & Passionfruit product. This is my first experience with the product. I used to make a cocktail with vodke as my mixer. I enjoyed the flavor finding mango to be the strongest of the flavor profiles listed. As for spice I really didn't get a spice flavor. Over all I enjoyed the product and the flavor components an I really appreciate the low calorie count with real ingredients.

  • I love the Fuji Apple flavor! I use it as a mocktail with a splash of bitters and it’s delicious. I love that it’s low in sugar as well. I just wish they were a bit less expensive!

  • I trued the yuzu and lime flavor which was a bit too sour but good as a mixer.

  • I JUST REALIZED IT IS MADE TO MIX WITH TEQUILA OR VODKA BUT YOU CAN DRINK IT ALONE. HOWEVER, I JUST HAPPEN TO NOT LIKE THIS COMBINATION SPICED MANGO AND PASSION FRUIT. MAYBE ONE OF THE OTHERS WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER TASTING TO ME. IT MIGHT BE A GOOD OPTION FOR A MIXER IF SOMEONE WAS TO ADD ALCOHOL TO THIS PRODUCT.

  • There's very little flavor in these. Exuberant price for four cans of slightly fancier seltzer water. Might become the new prestige beverage of the millionaire class...

  • I tried the spicy mango flavor. The label and container were noticable on the shelf. I would call it ok as a mocktail and should be used as a mixer, but I drank it as a soda. I liked the yuzu variety better. The almond flavor was neat and so was the spice, subtle yet effective. If I drank alcohol, it may have been even better too. These are refined sugar free and have interesting combinations about them. They are a bit pricey, but if you are looking for a better for you drink mixer, these concoctions are great and your friends will be impressed if you serve them at a party. Overall, a good new product that is unique in its arena as a mixer.

  • I love the flavor these add to cocktails! So unique and makes me feel just a little bit about indulging in an adult beverage knowing that these are made with real ingredients and less sugar.

  • Nice flavour and does not change the taste of the alcholic drink that you mix it with

  • I was wary of an extreme flavor, but was pleasantly surprised with this one. I had the new spiced mango with passion fruit. This wouldn't be a first choice as a mixer, but it's great on its own. The best part about this is the low sugar content and real fruit additives. It runs a bit expensive, other than that... it's good.

  • LOVED IT! Not too sweet and perfect mixed with gin. Even on it’s own it is delightful. Very unique flavor profile, and perfect size
