We’ve teamed up with OPIUS, the masters of non-alcoholic distilling, to bring you a spritz experience like no other. Crafted with passion and precision in the heart of Ghent, this collaboration combines ancient alchemy with modern taste. The result is a non-alcoholic spritz set that's the ultimate gift (or a treat for yourself).
OPIUS was founded in 2020 by two restless cocktail enthusiasts, Leander Beuckels and Lucas Lambrechts. They were brought together by the shared belief that an exciting drink shouldn’t always be alcoholic. That, above all, a drink should be bold and magical. Ever since, they‘re on a mission to bring people together and redefine their perception of “spirits”.
OPIUS means the dawn of a new chapter. A range of fine spirits created through a special formulation of plants and herbs capturing all the experience and sensation - without a drop of alcohol.
OPIUS originates from secret techniques used in the world of alchemy. From reviving old lost methods and deciphering ancient manuscripts. Their master distiller, professor at the university of Ghent, spent his life studying long forgotten alchemical techniques. He created a unique triple phased method which normal souls can’t even begin to comprehend. To create the worlds best NA spirits, you need exceptional ingredients. OPIUS sources only the best botanicals and spices known by alchemist for their stimulating effects. Every batch, 200 bottles at a time, is handcrafted with an obsession for temperatures and timings. This results in a unique taste profile with a unique body and after-bite.
As fellow Ghentian trailblazers in the non-alcoholic space, SOBR and OPIUS were destined to cross paths. SOBR and OPIUS care for innovation, craftsmanship, and bold, sophisticated flavors. We each create complex drinks for mindful hedonists and bon vivants who savor life to the fullest. With such aligned values, it was only natural to come together. Within just 5 minutes of meeting, it was already clear not only our products align, but also our personalities. After some laughs, we decided to get creative with our products. It didn’t take long to realize how beautifully our drinks complement each other. Where OPIUS makes top-notch mixers that are the ideal substitute for spirits, we at SOBR developed ready-to-drink wine alternatives that stand out on their own. Together, we’ve blended our expertise to deliver something truly extraordinary.
An especially interesting combo was that of our newly released SOBR spumante with OPIUS Rubedo.
Non-alcoholic bubbles made from Chardonnay and pinot blanc grapes.
An orange bitter with floral notes. Smooth on the palette, followed by a powerful bitter aftertaste.
When mixed together, they create an Italian-style spritz that’s perfect for bitter lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike. Think Camparis spriz, but the 'holier version'. However, the flavors are so intense you mind end up thinking this spritz is not so holy after all ...
Designed for those who crave the extraordinary, this partnership celebrates shared values of freedom, indulgence, and the art of savoring life’s finest moments—without a drop of alcohol.
As we were completely in love with this combination, we decided to mix them in a gift box.
This kit contains:
-2x25 cl SOBR spumante
-20 cl OPIUS rubedo
Perfect to surprise your loved ones. But beware, one sip and you might decide to keep it for yourself. Consider yourself warned. 😉
