Zoraida Graciani was born in the barrio of Singapur in Juana Díaz, Puerto Rico, and raised in a home where her beloved mother taught the women the skills to fare well in the kitchen the old-fashioned way. She came to New York City as a young woman, where she met her husband, married, and started a family. After living in the Bronx for twenty-two years, Zoraida moved to Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania, in the Pocono Mountains in 2002.

It was there that Zoraida decided she would not only share the tradition of Coquito with her family but with everyone else. Her commitment to quality and authenticity quickly set her apart.

In 2008, Zoraida entered her first Coquito tasting competition, taking on forty-six other contenders. Feliberto Esteves, head chef at Gracie Mansion for Mayor Bloomberg and chief judge of the competition, declared it "The best blended Coquito I've tasted yet." Zoraida won the championship that year—and went on to win two more Coquito Master titles, solidifying her place among the best.

Today, Zoraida is dedicated to bringing you a product you can trust and look forward to all year long. Her Coquito is made with the best quality ingredients, creating a rich, creamy drink with body and substance. Together, they deliver a taste second to none, earning it the title "Perfection in a Glass."

Zoraida is proud to share her culture from her home, La Isla Del Encanto, where Coquito originated, now perfected by Zoraida Graciani.
