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.”

Tequila myths, busted: Everything you’ve heard but shouldn’t believe
We're finally seperating fact from fiction when it comes to tequila

Tequila might be the Rodney Dangerfield of spirits. Oftentimes (especially compared to whiskey), it gets "no respect." This is likely because of a mixture of misconceptions, myths, and experiences during your college years. I'll admit that two decades ago, when I first started writing about alcohol, I had some preconceived notions about the Mexican-made spirit. And it had a lot to do with my experiences surrounding the agave-based spirit when I was in my twenties.

I know I'm not the only one who spent a portion of their drinking years without fully embracing tequila. Many drinkers only think of this hard alcohol as a shooter paired with lime and salt or as the base for turbo-charged Margaritas. That's a shame. Tequila is a versatile, complex spirit.

New Belgium partners with iconic Chicago wormwood liqueur brand on special beer
The Colorado brewery is daring you to try this six-pack
Voodoo Ranger Malort IPA.

New Belgium Brewery is calling it a dare. The brand has teamed up with Jeppson's Malört on a six-pack of beer that includes both a popular IPA beer and one made with the legendary Chicago-born liqueur. The Roulette IPA pack is officially out and it includes four Voodoo Ranger IPAs and two cans of the unique Malört-style IPA.

It's a clever bit of marketing as all six cans look the same. Hence, the roulette name. Consumers won't know what they've cracked until they have a taste. The move is decidedly fun, playing off the adventurous aspect of the ranger character and combining a blind tasting with a challenge of sorts.

Old Forester

Fans of the timeless Manhattan cocktail know that it isn't finished until it's garnished with a cherry or two.
