Why We Love It
Chinola Guava Liqueur stands out because it's built on 100% fresh pink guavas sourced and handcrafted in the Dominican Republic. No artificial colors, no shortcuts delivering that unmistakable ripe guava aroma with hints of strawberry, melon, and pear that you simply can't get from the synthetic tropical liqueurs crowding most back bars.
How to Drink It
Chinola Guava Liqueur mixes well into daiquiris, margaritas, and spritzes, and pairs beautifully with spicy Caribbean dishes, fresh ceviche, tropical fruit desserts, and creamy cheeses.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Fresh pink guava leads the way, with the kind of bright, ripe fruitiness you'd get from cutting open a perfectly ripe guava on a warm afternoon.
Palate: Juicy and smooth, with a sweetness that never feels heavy or syrupy.
Finish: Clean and relatively short, with a pleasant citrus tartness that lingers just long enough to keep your palate refreshed.
How It's Made
Chinola Guava Liqueur is made from 100% fresh, estate-grown pink guavas harvested at peak ripeness, then combined with a neutral cane spirit and bottled entirely in the Dominican Republic a true farm-to-bottle operation with no artificial colors or flavors anywhere in the process.
Fun Facts
- Guava is notoriously difficult to work with in spirits production because its delicate floral aromatics and natural sugars are highly sensitive to heat and processing which is exactly why so few quality guava liqueurs exist on the market.
- Pink guava, the specific variety used in Chinola Guava Liqueur contains more than four times the vitamin C of a whole orange by weight. Of course, you're sipping a liqueur, not a health tonic, but the fact that the base fruit is such a nutritional powerhouse speaks to just how naturally vibrant and flavorful pink guava is.
- Chinola built its reputation on passion fruit, their original liqueur became something of a cult favorite in cocktail bars across the U.S. and the Guava expression is only their fourth product release ever.
