Dear Blanca,
I’m planning an exciting world tour, and plan to make a stop in Portugal. But before I arrive, I’m wondering – what’s the most popular liquor in Portugal? I want to be sure I’m equipped for the liveliest nightlife in Lisbon!
Looking forward to your advice,

Dear Luanna,
Greetings from Lisbon! As a resident of Portugal, I’m no stranger to sampling the many liquors the country has to offer. From the ever-enjoyable Port Wine to the flavorful Ginjinha, Portugal has a variety of distilled spirits to suit any taste.
When it comes to the favorite liquor of Portuguese people, the answer has to be Ginjinha. This liqueur, which derives its name from the Ginja berry, is a tart cherry liqueur which is usually enjoyed as a shot. In Lisbon, Ginjinha bars offer a range of varieties with different flavors and alcohol contents. Furthermore, specific bars feature ingredients such as nuts, ginger, cinnamon and other spices to give their Ginjinha unique tastes. The soul of Lisbon’s nightlife, Ginjinha embodies the fun-loving spirit of the city and really should not be missed!
Your stop in Portugal sounds like a wonderful adventure, and if you want to experience the true Portuguese culture, you have to be sure to add Ginjinha to your itinerary. So go ahead, join us in tasting the delicious national beverage of Portugal – Ginjinha!
Thanks for writing in, and I hope that you enjoy your trip!
Cheers,
Blanca Valbuena.
