I was introduced to the idea of transforming tap water into flavorful lemonades with natural flavors at a young age. Even as a child, my mother would infuse our drinking water with ginger, apple, or lemon. Instead of overly sweet sodas, we had "tap water with an upgrade."

The older I got, the more I traveled and the more I reached for drinks from PET bottles. Over time, this kind of consumption bothered me more and more – the drinks were full of sugar and chemical additives, and the logistical effort and CO₂ emissions were enormous. So I started drinking enhanced tap water again, like I remembered from my childhood. When I discovered that this type of drink not only tasted good to me but also to my guests, it was clear to me: I wanted to make this idea a lifestyle choice – and that's how I founded Dropz.
