Chinola Fresh Fruit Liqueurs Expands with New Guava Expression
Chinola Fresh Fruit Liqueurs is making waves in the beverage industry with its latest release: Chinola Guava Liqueur. This exciting new addition marks the fourth expression to the brand's already celebrated lineup, which also includes Passion Fruit, Mango, and Pineapple liqueurs. Crafted with care in the Dominican Republic, the Guava Liqueur is a testament to Chinola's commitment to delivering genuine tropical flavors through a farm-to-bottle philosophy.
The Guava Liqueur captures the vibrant and sweet-tart profile of fresh pink guava, embodying the essence of one of the most beloved tropical fruits. CEO and Co-Founder Andrew Merinoff emphasizes that guava is on the verge of becoming the next major flavor trend in cocktails. He recalls the initial need to educate consumers about the rich flavor of fresh passion fruit upon Chinola's launch, suggesting that guava is now positioned to undergo a similar journey.
Unlike many guava products on the market that often rely on concentrates or artificial flavoring, Chinola's Guava Liqueur promises a benchmark for authentic guava flavor. Merinoff adds that the fresh guava base is heightened by hints of tropical melon, ripe pear, and tangy strawberry, resulting in an approachable and juicy profile with a perfect sweet-tart balance.
With a lower alcohol content of 21% ABV, the liqueur is designed for versatility, making it ideal for cocktails and casual sipping. Whether mixed in spritzes, margaritas, or daiquiris, Chinola’s Guava Liqueur is poised to elevate cocktail presentation with its naturally beautiful rosy-pink hue. This vibrant addition not only enhances the drink's aesthetic appeal but also opens up a world of creative possibilities for bartenders.
Creating the Guava Liqueur was no small feat, described by Merinoff as one of the most technically challenging products in Chinola's history. Extensive research and development efforts in the Dominican Republic were key to preserving the natural aroma, acidity, texture, and balance of the fresh pink guava in a shelf-stable product. This meticulous process ensures that consumers experience the true taste of guava in every sip.
Chinola's Guava Liqueur stands out not just for its flavor but also for its commitment to environmental sustainability and community support. The production is rooted in the Samaná Peninsula, guided by eco-friendly practices that prioritize regenerative farming and biodiversity. Additionally, Chinola is dedicated to maximizing its positive impact on local infrastructure and economic development.
With the introduction of the Guava Liqueur, Chinola continues to source high-quality fruit from various tropical growing regions while maintaining a central focus on production in the Dominican Republic. The Guava Liqueur, priced at $32.99 for a 750ml bottle, is currently available for pre-order on ShopChinola.com, with plans for national retail availability throughout the summer and broader U.S. distribution anticipated in the latter half of 2026.
