Have you ever wanted to learn what it takes to start a beverage business but just didn't know where to start? Phil and Anastasia Broikos of OPA! Originals did not come from the beverage industry but had a passion to create something that celebrated their unique heritage and that allowed them to work together as a husband and wife team.

So, they set out to create Ouzon Soda, the first ever Ouzo flavored soda. What is ouzo, you ask? It is the unofficial national liqueur of Greece, of course! Phil and Anastasia are of Greek extraction and found an interesting way to create a non-alcoholic version of a Greek treasure. They handcraft a sparkling beverage that is made with all-natural, pure cane sugar and infused with certified organic star anise. It is truly a craft beverage that you can feel good about.

Phil and Anastasia show us that it is possible to create a soda company if you just follow your dreams and are able to put in the work.
