Ginjinha is a spirit unique to Portugal, a sort of fruit brandy made from the sour-cherry-like ginja berry. It is readily available in Lisbon, but for some reason Obidos enthusiastically features it. We were advised to seek it at
Ibn Errik Rex, Obidos' premier ginjinha bar, and to order it
chilled and "with berries".
Think cherry cough syrup, and you are not far wrong (though Bettie says I am being unfair). It is an acquired taste, the acquisition of I am willing to forego.
