Chinola is a fresh fruit passion fruit liqueur from the Dominican Republic, bottled at 21% ABV. 'Chinola' is the Dominican word for passion fruit.
It is made with real passion fruit from the brand's own farms, blended with cane sugar and a neutral cane spirit. Chinola was founded in 2014 by a partnership that included Andrew Merinoff, now its CEO.
The result is vivid and tropical, with the tangy, juicy aroma of fresh-cut passion fruit, a bright, natural acidity and a gentle sweetness.
It has become a go-to ingredient for bartenders making tropical cocktails, and it is just as easy to enjoy on its own.
Its colourful, vintage-style label makes it a cheerful gift.

How to Enjoy It
Chinola shines in a Passion Fruit Margarita, shaken with tequila and fresh lime, and in a Pornstar Martini with vanilla vodka and a side of sparkling wine. It adds tropical brightness to a mojito, a daiquiri, a rum punch or a gin and tonic, and makes an easy spritz with prosecco and soda water. On its own, serve it chilled over ice with a squeeze of lime. It is delicious drizzled over vanilla ice cream, pavlova, cheesecake or a tropical fruit salad. For a party, mix a pitcher with rum, pineapple juice, lime and soda water. Pair tropical cocktails with ceviche, fish tacos, grilled shrimp or jerk chicken. Keep the bottle in a cool place after opening, or in the refrigerator for the freshest flavour.
