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?

The best beers to pair with your summer yard games

Anderson Valley

When it comes to leisure activities during the summer months, it’s difficult to beat the appeal of a round of yard games. What could be more fun on a hot, sunny day than besting your friends and siblings in an epic backyard brawl? I can’t think of anything.

I’m talking about games like croquet, lawn darts, bocce, ladder ball, cornhole, and more. The only thing that makes the experience better is having a frosty, refreshing beer firmly in one of your hands. But just like how you don’t enjoy every yard game, not just any beer will do.
