About Us
Bozorth Beverages is committed to supporting local businesses in all the ways we can. We source our fruit purees from Oregon Fruit Products in Salem, Oregon, while our artwork and labels are homegrown in Portland, Oregon. All of our products are hand-made and hand-bottled in small batches by the two founders of Bozorth Beverages.
We make everything with real lemon and lime juice, fresh ginger, and real fruit puree.

Our Story
Located in Portland, OR, we started making handcrafted soda as a homebrew-alternative for our friends who weren’t as much a fan of beer. Over time we refined our ginger-beer soda recipe to the point where it was more in demand than our homebrew, and then further to a more versatile concentrated syrup form. As a syrup, people could make the original soda on demand, or use it as a mixer, or for cooking.
Our Ginger Beer (non-alcoholic) soda syrup was our original flavor, and Double Ginger arose shortly thereafter to satisfy those in need of more ginger bite, when the original just wasn’t quite punchy enough. After tasting our ginger syrups mixed with off-the-shelf lemonade at our Farmers’ Market, our customers requested that we create a bottled version. Again, after recipe refining and multiple trials, our scratch-made, handcrafted Ginger Lemonade and Ginger Limeade were born.
The new beverage flavors were well received at farmers’ markets and elsewhere, but we were getting comments of wanting other non-ginger flavors as well. So, in early 2019 we expanded our product line to include our fruit lemonades and limeades featuring real Oregon fruits and berries. Future development is currently focused on adding additional ready-to-drink flavors that further round out the line.

The Kitchen
We couldn’t produce our delicious beverages without a solid base of operations to work from. While we conduct business from our home, all of our production is done in the Kearney Kitchen Commissary at 833 NW 16th Ave, Portland, OR. Check out the video for a quick tour of the facility.
The City
We are proud to call Oregon, and specifically Portland, our home. With so many independent markets, restaurants, and bars, and a community that is committed to revitalizing the craft food and beverage scene, it has been a source of great opportunities for us. We have been so fortunate to work with local organizations and crafters who have helped make our products a success. With assistance from Oregon Entrepreneurs Network, SCORE, and the PCC CLIMB Center, we’ve been able to expand our knowledge even in the midst of the pandemic. All of our label and art design has been done by Julie Chaddock of Elaborate Flight of Fancy, and label printing by Craftsman Label.
