    Alright, next up on my semi-overwhelming remaining list of cool places I went to when I was in…read morePortugal a couple months ago - one of three distinct, very similar spots to try locally made craft ginja, so obviously I made a crawl of it and tried all three in a row, the first day I got to Lisbon. All three are, similarly, very tiny bars, basically just alcoves, no seating, large enough to fit a couple people standing inside if it's raining, which it was. Not a spot people stick around a long time at, which is reasonable, since all they sell are shots of ginja, and to-go bottles of ginja. They don't sell it in shotglasses, unlike the other two - but they do give you a cherry if you want, also unlike the other two. Personal verdict, it's definitely better than do Carmo... between here and Sem Rival is really up to the individual, both are great. It's boozy but also definitely full of fruit and spices, and just sweet enough but not sickly. Good ginja is great, it's wacky nobody's tried marketing it in the US. Wish I could've taken home a full bottle of each (I'd already earmarked almost a whole suitcase for Port wine, obviously.)

    Ah, I remember this historic spot from my first trip to Lisbon 16 years ago. My young tour guide…read moreback then took me here to have a cup (actually a shot) of ginjinha, the traditional Portuguese sour cherry liqueur. When Jamie W and I inadvertently walked by recently on our first evening in Lisbon, I realized we needed to stop and do the same thing. I had next to no memory of it, just that it didn't kill me. Jamie was rather hesitant, but I just showed my typical insolence and walked up to the proprietor behind the counter. He was already in mid-pour, and I actually remembered to say "com elas" to indicate we wanted cherries in our drinks. They were only 1,50€ per cup (Photo 8). We sipped them in seconds. The puckery flavor led to a nice finish. We were on our way in less than five minutes. DRINK - 4 stars...if sour cherry is your thing, have at it AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...just an open door and a bottle SERVICE - 3.5 stars - he pours and collects, though he liked the way I said "com elas" TOTAL - 4 stars...a must-do ritual for any tourist in Lisbon RELATED - Exploring Lisbon?

    A stop on our walking Lisbon Food Tour…read more Shots of cherry moonshine. Awesome. Be sure to eat the marinated cherry at the bottom of your shot glass. Delicious.

    Alright, next up on my semi-overwhelming remaining list of cool places I went to when I was in…read morePortugal a couple months ago - one of three distinct, very similar spots to try locally made craft ginja, so obviously I made a crawl of it and tried all three in a row, the first day I got to Lisbon. All three are, similarly, very tiny bars, basically just alcoves, no seating, large enough to fit a couple people standing inside if it's raining, which it was. Not a spot people stick around a long time at, which is reasonable, since all they sell are cheap shots of ginja, and to-go bottles of ginja. Well, in this case, uniquely, they also sell a second, more complex liqueur called Eduardino, one reason I'd give the crown to this stop over A Ginjinha around the block, though I also think I liked the ginja here a *hair* more than A Ginjinha. Both great, though. (You can skip Ginginha do Carmo. :p) The ginja, like their most direct competitor's, is quite fruity, and sweet, but not overly so. The one here is also *particularly* smooth. Their second product, Eduardino, apparently invented here in 1908 (I just looked it up) is an anise-infused ginja that doesn't taste anything like ginja, but does taste like a great, complex, sweet anise liqueur, that I imagine would be *wonderful* in cocktails that call for absinthe as a modifier, or probably also as a swap for Benedictine or any of those more famous sweet/herbal liqueurs, if you're a cocktail nerd like me. Though here, obviously, they just sell it neat or in bottles. It is also pretty tasty served neat. I wish I'd had room to bring back a full 750 bottle of each, instead of just a 200 ml bottle (I had most of a suitcase already earmarked for Port wine), but I was glad they *sold* 200 ml bottles!
