2010-05-23 22:36 Ginjinha, also known as Ginja, is a liqueur made from cherry-like ginja berries fermented in brandy. Traditionally, it is served in shots with a fermented cherry on the bottom of the shot glass. Its production was commenced by the monks of São Domingos convent in Lisbon, who called it Ginjinha. The friar of the Santo António Church, Francisco Espinheira, once conducted an experiment, leaving ginja berries in aguardente and adding some sugar, water and cinnamon. That is how the first ginjinha was made. The success was immediate and Ginginha soon became a landmark drink of the capital. Till this day it is the favourite liqueur of many Portuguese, mostlyin the area of Lisbon and Obidos.
