WHAT IS OHZA?
Ohza is a premium “champagne cocktail” company. We use quality ingredients like you would yourself, but made them lighter, less sugary and ready-to-drink. Whether hitting the beach, tailgate, or après ski, mimosas are now not just for brunch.
We’re also redefining what you expect from a ready-to-drink beverage: Ohza has a calorie count similar to a hard seltzer, but the bold flavor of a serious cocktail – all while containing no added sugar, nothing artificial, no preservatives, and an extremely clean nutrition label.
Our products use premium sparkling wine and real juice. In fact, almost one third of every can is filled with juice, providing rich, authentic flavor. Ohza has been featured in Forbes, Delish, and other publications highlighting it’s flavor and packaging. To learn more, please visit ohzamimosas.com
WHERE IT BEGAN
It all started when four friends attempted tocmix some mimosas on a tippy boat offcCape Cod. The result? A mess and an idea.
With a successful 2019 launch, we are poised for rapid growth in 2020 and beyond.
