A Ginjinha 😋

Ginja is a sweet cherry liqueur that originated in Lisbon, and the small "A Ginjinha" bar is the traditional home of the drink. The tiny A Ginjinha bar, has standing room only and provides you the opportunity to sample this wonderfully strong and sweet alcoholic drink. The drink Ginja is based around aguardente (a very strong distilled alcohol), which has been infused with Ginja cherries (Morello Cherries) and sweetened with vast amounts of sugar. The shot of Ginja is served straight, with the choice of either an alcohol-laden cherry or not. The A Ginjinha bar originally opened in 1840, and has been run by the same family for five generations - if you want a taste of authentic Portugal then there is no better place!
