Overview – The Inside Story on Ohza

First up, let‘s get you up to speed on the backstory of Ohza and what makes them stand out…

Launched In: June 2019

Founder: Ryan Ayotte

Headquarters: New York State

Funding Raised: $2 million

Sparkling Wines Source: Finger Lakes wineries

Production Facility: Canandaigua, New York

warehouse, Packing and Shipping Facility: Geneva, New York

Unique Selling Proposition:

• Ready-to-drink, single-serve mimosas
• 80% less sugar than average mimosas
• 60% fewer calories than average mimosas
• No additives, gluten-free and vegan
• Range of fruit juice varieties
• Recyclable, sustainable aluminum cans
• Shelf-life of 12 months outside refrigerator

Ryan Ayotte hit upon the concept behind Ohza in 2019 after a fruitless attempt at mixing mimosas while on a boat with friends. The sticky result made him realize the need for readymade canned versions of the classic brunch cocktail that are mess-free and easy to serve anytime.

Along with co-founders Jill and Kevin Ayotte, he perfected recipes for aluminum can-packed mimosas blended from New York sparkling wines and real fruit juices. The key advantages Ohza touts compared to other canned cocktails are lower calories/sugars and a greater variety of flavors.

The viral success of White Claw and hard seltzers created more consumer openness to alternative drink formats. Ohza‘s functional, flavorful mimosas in slim cans proved to be a big hit. From 2019 to 2022, the company saw meteoric 800% revenue growth and has sold over 5 million cans so far.

So that covers the origins and exponential success Ohza has seen. Now let‘s get into the details of their mimosa product line.

Product Range – Classic Mimosa with a Tropical Twist

Ohza‘s canned beverages features blends of sparkling wine and fruit juices in 4 key flavors:

• Classic Mimosa – Traditional orange juice and sparkling wine
• Classic Bellini – Peach juice adds a flowery note
• Mango Mimosa – Creamy mango balances out the bubbly
• Cranberry Mimosa – Tart cranberry cuts through the sweetness

Customers praise the authentic taste and champagne-like effervescence achieved by Ohza‘s winemakers. The white sparkling wines used are produced at various vineyards in New York‘s picturesque Finger Lakes region.
