Orsadrinks was born in 1992 in Italy in southern Piedmont, right at the foot of the Alps, near France. Initially, the product range was limited to powdered drinks such as hot chocolates and frappes, but after noticing how the cocktail sector was booming in the US in the 1990s, the company soon decided to diversify into the cocktail market. It wasn't long until Italy's bartenders and bar managers began to request cocktail ingredients and cocktail equipment from Orsadrinks: thus was born the first range of cocktail mixes under the ODK brand, including the famous "Sweet&Sour" and first line of fruit purees, Fruity Mixes.
