Latest Cocktail Trend: Passion Fruit Liqueur

One of the latest trends to hit drink menus is cocktails created from passion fruit liqueur, the most popular of which is Chinola, a passion fruit liqueur made in the remote Samaná Peninsula along the northern coast of the

Dominican Republic (“chinola” is the Spanish word people use there for passion fruit, considered a sacred fruit on the island.)

The fruit’s unique tartness is balanced perfectly with natural sweetness and tropical essence, which makes it ideal for creating inventive and refreshing cocktails.

Chinola is produced with a commitment to authenticity and sustainable practices – each bottle contains roughly six large non-GMO passion fruits and no artificial additives, honeybees are utilized to assist with fruit pollination and the brand supports the farming community and economy by only harvesting a fraction of the fruit that is grown while sharing its agricultural best practices with local farmers who are responsible for the majority of the crops that are then purchased back.

Like several other successful spirits brands, Chinola was created by a collaboration of hospitality experts and spirits industry professionals. It was co-founded by Robert Pallone, an individual with the power to influence spirits enthusiasts with his passion and knowledge of the industry through his work on both sides of the bar. Before starting Chinola, Pallone worked with

Carlsberg beer and Diageo as an ambassador for Zacapa Rum. He began his hospitality career working at some of Miami’s most notable restaurants, hotels, and nightclubs, including the Setai and the Forge. Pallone first discovered this liqueur during a business trip in 2013. He brought a sample back to Miami and shared it with top bartenders including Gabe Orta and Gui

Jaroschy and they instantly loved it. In fact, both of these notable bartenders were instrumental in developing the Chinola recipe and are brand partners.
