What fun! We can imagine you and Paul enjoying a chilly evening with any of these liquors. You've made me walk down memory lane, recalling the when and where of my introduction to each of these. Thank you!
As always, I learn something new from your work. Thank you for this overview about Portuguese liquors. We will try a few of them during our visit this April and once we complete our relocation, all of these will go on our list for stocking the bar in our new home!
I’ll never forget stopping at the Ginja bar to get a shot in a little chocolate cup while walking around Lisbon. So much fun! Thanks again for the experience.
And the tough decision: sip the ginja then bite the chocolate cup? Shoot the ginja and eat the cup? Stuff the whole thing in your mouth at once? We love watching people make this call!
Thank you for this information. We have tried all of these since moving here. I’m always fascinated when I run into expats who have not tried any of these and actually not even heard of them. This is a great synopsis with helpful info. I have struggled trying to explain the flavors other than Ginja and Amarguinha which are obvious. And it was great running into you on accident on your last visit. Next time you come back, if you have time, we would love to sit and chat over a glass of wine. Please reach out and let us know if you are free to do so.

I’ve tried only a few, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy the others when the time comes. Enjoyed it and hoping it gets to be 17:00 soon!

I went with option #2. I need to try the other methods next time!
I have done both! And when we visited the village of Cabeca, they made ginja infused with chocolate! The best of both worlds! -CW
I haven’t tried mist of these. I am not too fond of ginja. My favorite is Beirão.
Thank you for the Restack! - CW

Thanks for your comment, Thomas Carl! And yes, we will plan on that glass of wine in June. Will be in touch with the details soon! - CW
