With a name like Chinola Fresh Fruit Liqueurs, you should know what you’re in for when you open up a bottle. This Dominican Republic-based brand has been around since 2014 and is already well-known for its Passion Fruit and Mango Liqueurs. Recently, it announced the launch of a third fruity liqueur.

The newest addition to the Chinola Fresh Fruit Liqueurs family is Pineapple. This tropical fruit-filled liqueur was made with the popular Dominican-grown MD2 pineapple. It’s a natural, low-ABV (21%) liqueur made from 100% fresh pineapple and neutral cane spirit. Like all of Chinola’s liqueurs, there are no artificial flavors or additives.

“We’ve always been driven by a passion to create liqueurs that reflect the beauty and authenticity of the Dominican Republic. The Chinola® Pineapple brings that vision to life with the bold, tropical intensity of MD2 pineapple, which is renowned for its golden sweetness and rich, full-bodied flavor,” Founder and CEO Andrew Merinoff said.

It was only a matter of time before Chinola made a pineapple-centric liqueur as the brand spent a long time in research and development to find the perfect tropical flavor.

“It’s not just a flavor. It’s a symbol of the region’s agricultural heritage,” added Merinoff.

“Many would have walked away when they realized how challenging it is to maintain a fresh pineapple flavor. It takes years of research and an unwavering commitment to quality to create a liqueur that actually tastes like the fruit itself. But, from inception, we set out to fill a void behind the bar, creating a sustainable, high-quality way to bring authentic fruit flavors into cocktails.”

Where can I buy it?

Espresso lemonade? NESCAFÉ swears it’s summer’s best flavor combo

A new hack for your iced espresso routine

NESCAFÉ

Lemonade and espresso are two delicious beverages that I happen to love. At the same time, I never would have thought to combine these two drinks in any way, shape, or form. Just hearing the term "espresso lemonade" has my mind running a thousand different ways. Before trying this in the evening, my mind runs down the "immediate no" path pretty quickly.

At the same time, I recognize that creative individuals across social media have come up with some flavor combinations I once doubted but now love (like the viral sweet potato cottage cheese bowl). But will espresso lemonade become the trendy new coffee flavor combo of the summer? NESCAFÉ thinks so. Admittedly, I'm curious about the hype around this new flavor combination. Is it one of those things that you try once and then never go back to? Or, is it one of those things you didn't know you needed until you try it? If you'd like to try it for yourself, here's what NESCAFÉ suggests you'll need to create an espresso lemonade at home.
