In their words
What they say.
“I always try to make an alcoholic and a non-alcoholic version of the same cocktail in which Opius is truly one of the most rewarding products.”
“Many of those drinks are made with Opius because they add a little more complexity to our mocktails.”
“What's important to me in a non-alcoholic cocktail, I think, is rethinking how we approach non-alcoholic drinks, rather than simply asking what makes a good one.”
“What is important to me in a non-alcoholic cocktail is actually offer just as much depth and balance as in a cocktail with spirits.”
“The Opius collection is spectacular and unique. It's one of the best non-alcs we've come across!”
“Opius has done the impossible: layered, intense & sophisticated liquids without alcohol. Spectacular!”
“One of the best liquids we've tasted this year, alcoholic and non-alcoholic.”
“A first of its kind non-alcoholic, enthusiastically received by the bartender community. We love it!”
“Selected as One of The Best Low-Alcs for 2025.”
“You can elevate the experience to the point where it doesn’t matter if it’s alcoholic or not.”
