A Cultural Education & Activation Movement

Founded by Chef Sharon Michelle, No Soy Basura™ is a Puerto Rican cultural education and activation movement focused on teaching, storytelling, and celebrating the island's history, heritage, and heart.

Through workshops, Coquito Flight, lectures, and artistic partnerships, we transform every event into a dynamic learning experience—where every taste, rhythm, and story reminds us:
Porque Somos Leyendas.

The Coquito Tasting Flight Journey Through Time

Our Coquito Tasting Flight reflects the journey of Puerto Rican culture—from the richest pasado (past) through generations, to the vibrant present, and the creative flavors shaping our future.
Each glass is a story—a celebration, reinvention, and pride.
🥥PASADO (Past) — Traditional Coquito
The authentic Puerto Rican recipe.
Where we come from.
🌰PRESENTE (Present) — Pistachio Coquito
The innovation happening now.
Where we are today.
💜FUTURO (Future) — Lavender Glow Coquito
The bold new flavors no one has tasted.
Where we're taking our culture.
Past → Present → Future
Tradition → Innovation → Revolution
