Have you tried the famous Portuguese ginja tincture?
Traveling in Europe, I went to Portugal with my friend Adubeiro Oliveira. By car, we drove several hundred kilometers. But I will talk about this in a separate post. Today I want to tell you about a typical Lisbon liquor Ginja or, as it is affectionately called Ginjin.
For almost two centuries, he enjoyed the success of both residents of the capital and countless guests. For the Portuguese, drinking delicious liquor is a real ritual. Over the years, certain rules and traditions have developed:
- It is highly advisable to drink ginjin in glass glasses. Plastic is for tourists only :), or in extreme cases.
- Ginjinha - this is not shot! It is not necessary to drink in one gulp. And certainly not worth it to get drunk before failure.
- Berries in a glass - not olives! And ginning is not Martini at all!
- Sticky hands - it’s part of the process (and then will wash) :). Imagine holding a favorite sweet that you cannot resist.
- And most importantly - you can’t get by with a “session” with just one glass. After eating the first one, you just need to order the second.
Although I am indifferent to alcohol - this type of liquor is very tasty. I recommend trying it - you won’t regret it!
