Ryan Eleuteri

Biography

Ryan Eleuteri is the Owner of the Charleston Beverage Company and the creator of Charleston Mix, a locally created and brewed brand of Bloody Mary Mix in Charleston, South Carolina. Born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, Eleuteri traded his Northern roots for a little Southern comfort when he came to the College of Charleston. He graduated in 2002 with a degree in Political Science and plans to attend law school. But life took a different turn and Eleuteri decided to try his hand at business and sales instead. He joined up with Rick Hendrick Dodge Chrysler Jeep and was a dedicated sales manager at the company for eight years. On a warm Sunday afternoon in April of 2009, after an evening of Charleston merriment and revelry, Eleuteri set out in search of Bloody Mary Mix at the local grocery store. Unsatisfied by the store’s selection, Eleuteri decided to create his own perfect mix. Inspired by other local products with South Carolinian roots, Eleuteri decided to make a business of Bloody Marys. After months of hard work, Eleuteri picked up the first order of mix from the bottler. Although he never thought he’d own his own business or choose to stay in Charleston, Eleuteri has found success in Charleston Mix. “Charleston Mix is a product of years of personal sacrifice and hard work, it’s like my baby,” he says fondly.
