The Purple Drop

06/15/2026

Nobody warned us that starting a beverage company would involve explaining purple corn approximately 4,782 times.

Worth it.

The best part is still watching someone try chicha morada for the first time. There’s always a pause, a confused look, then:

“Okay wait… that’s actually really good.”

We’ll be collecting more reactions at Fancy Food next week. Specialty Food Association

A few years ago, if you told us we’d be starting a beverage company together, we would’ve laughed.

What started as Roger’s childhood drink from Peru turned into Purple Drop.

These photos are a pretty honest look at the journey so far:

Trade shows.
Hairnets.
Taste tests.
Packing boxes.
A lot of learning as we go.

No beverage experience.
No roadmap.
Just a family recipe, a lot of curiosity, and probably an unhealthy level of stubbornness.

We’re just getting started. 💜🇵🇪

Real talk, this is your final warning. 📵

Tomorrow at 12 PM ET, the limited first drop goes live online. 6-packs, small batch, abuelita’s recipe. Once it’s sold out, the next drop is July.

If you sleep on this and text us mad on Tuesday, we love you, but we will be busy packing orders for the people who set their alarm. ⏰💜
