Afrito® is a premium oat and coconut cream beverage inspired by the rich flavors and traditions of Africa and the Caribbean. Crafted by chef and entrepreneur Isylah Haynes, Afrito® was born from a desire to create a smooth, indulgent drink that is both culturally rooted and inclusive for people with dietary restrictions. Available in both its Original rum-infused version and Free Spirit non-alcoholic option, Afrito® delivers a unique, velvety experience that can be enjoyed on its own or used to elevate cocktails, desserts, and social gatherings. What began as a holiday favorite for family and friends has grown into a highly requested product with the potential to scale into retail, hospitality, and direct-to-consumer markets.

At its core, Afrito® is more than a beverage, it is a movement centered around connection, culture, and celebration. Guided by the mantra “Sip the Vibe®,” the brand is committed to creating moments of joy while honoring heritage and community. Afrito® aims to build generational impact by supporting local economies, collaborating with small businesses, and creating opportunities for education and entrepreneurship. Through intentional ingredients, thoughtful branding, and a deep commitment to community, Afrito® is positioned to become a standout name in the premium beverage space while staying true to its roots.

Our Story
Afrito® didn’t start as a business idea, it started in my kitchen, during moments that mattered. I was creating something special for my family, something we could all enjoy together regardless of dietary needs, and it quickly became the drink everyone asked for again and again. What I didn’t realize at the time was that I wasn’t just making a beverage, I was creating a feeling. Something rooted in my culture, my experiences as a chef, and my love for bringing people together. As a mother, grandmother, and longtime caregiver, everything I build is centered around connection and care. Afrito® reflects that. It’s crafted with intention, inspired by African and Caribbean traditions, and designed to be shared. What sets it apart isn’t just the flavor, it’s the story behind it. It’s a drink that carries warmth, celebration, and a sense of belonging in every sip.
