About Ginjinha Sem Rival
Standing-room-only ginjinha bar since 1890 serving the traditional sour cherry liqueur in chocolate cups or with a berry at the bottom. Located in a hole-in-the-wall space near Rossio, it's a quick stop for the EUR 1.50 shot locals take before heading to dinner. The original recipe remains unchanged for over 130 years.
Insider Tips
Order 'com elas' (with them) to get the alcohol-soaked cherries at the bottom of your shot - locals eat them after drinking.
