Our Story
Family, Legacy, and Love
Despite living in extreme poverty his entire life, my late grandfather, Carlton Smith, was an amazingly revered mixologist and was legendary in Trinidad & Tobago for inventing delicious cocktails. He was a gentle soul, a great patriarch for the family, my childhood caretaker and role model. Grandpa Carlton was a huge influence in my most formative years, demonstrating by his own life example humility, work ethic, and how to be a loving and faithful husband. He was my very first inspiration and motivation to create ZURENA Caribbean Drink Mixers, and it is his recipe, the Secret Smith Family Recipe, that I am taking to the world.
ZURENA is named after my daughters, Zuri (Swahili for beautiful) and Rena (Hebrew for joyful melody). The Beautiful Joyful Melody that is ZURENA reminds us that It is our obligation to share our God-given talents with the world and that we can achieve any feat we set our minds to. ZURENA reinforces my commitment to a long-lasting and sustainable legacy for my girls.

ZURENA honors Grandpa Carlton, Zuri and Rena, and the many members of my village who have helped to shape my journey. I truly believe ZURENA will be a staple in every personal and professional bar in the world.
ZURENA is not just a product, but a platform for Uplifting Spirits. We have been exploring the intersection of beverage and social engagement as pathways for self-discovery, personal fulfillment and deeper connections with others in our circles. We help create blueprints for how people can elevate self-discovery, self-celebration and authentic connection. Along the way, we are Uplifting Communities by assisting people in identifying their respective passions and how those passions can be used to make a societal impact.

Testimonials
Zurena has legit turned me into a weekend traveler! I love it! I can’t afford a trip to the Caribbean every weekend, but I sure as hell can afford a bottle or two!!! Let’s get it ! #myzurena

Zander
I am not a big drinker, but I had tried the original Zurena in the past and it was good, I enjoyed it. But these new flavors are insane. It was a gift on thanksgiving and it was awesome! So I looked online and ordered more ASAP! I mixed the ginger flavor with Tito’s Vodka and the tropical with Hennessy Privilege, legit put me in vacation mode!

Papa
Definitely a fan of the original ZURENA. Now experimenting with the new flavors. Lots to explore, but the vodka and prosecco pairings are promising so far.

Nigel C.
I was so relaxed, best nap ever, when I woke up from my nap I wanted more!!! But not trying to be alcoholic, so I mixed some Zurena ginger with some Heineken zero alcohol and that was awesome!!!

Milton
Great for rums and cocktails...and makes for excellent non-alcoholic drinks. A healthier alternative to sodas. If you want to try one, test the ginger mixer. Wow.

Happy Customer
This product can truly go with anything, alcoholic or non-alcoholic. Adds great flavor. I’ve tried with vodka, gin, sodas…all great! Great for the holidays.
