Chinola Passion Fruit Liqueur

Chinola passion fruit liqueur is the house’s original: bright, zesty and made from 100% fresh passion fruit from the Dominican Republic. A bar classic, as at home neat as it is in a cocktail.

The Chinola house

“Chinola” is the Dominican word for passion fruit, which holds a special place on the island: the house made it its first flavour, launched in the United States in 2018. Founded in 2014 on the Samaná peninsula, it created the first shelf-stable fresh fruit liqueur, made “from vine to bottle”. Its liqueurs are crafted with 100% fresh fruit and a neutral cane spirit, with no artificial colours or flavours.

The passion fruit is grown and shaped by hand at the estate, among other places around Majagual, and has been since 2014. It takes roughly six to eight large fruits to make a bottle. The juice is blended with a neutral spirit and cane sugar for a liqueur at 21% ABV.

Tasting notes

The nose is natural and tropical: fresh passion fruit, citrus, vanilla and cedar. The palate is deep and rich, sweet and tangy, brimming with tropical fruit. The long, sweet and tangy finish is carried by the fruit’s natural acidity.

Serving and cocktails

Serve it neat, in a spritz or in a cocktail such as a Margarita, a Pornstar Martini or a Daiquiri. It also makes a passion fruit Martini, or can be poured over vanilla ice cream.
