Licor De Ginja De Obidos Mariquinhas Sour Cherry Liqueur 700ml

Portugal's Most Beloved Tradition — In a Chocolate Cup or a Glass

Ginja — a sour cherry liqueur made from Morello cherries macerated in alcohol with sugar and spices — is one of Portugal's most cherished drinking traditions, and Óbidos is its spiritual home. Mariquinhas Licor de Ginja de Óbidos is crafted in this historic walled town using the same time-honored method that has been passed down for generations: ripe Morello cherries, sugar, and a proprietary spice blend, left to macerate until the flavors are deep, rich, and perfectly balanced. Traditionally served in small edible chocolate cups — a ritual as delightful as the liqueur itself.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich and fruity. Ripe Morello cherry leads with a warm sweetness, subtle spice, and a hint of almond from the cherry pits.
• Palate: Sweet and tart in perfect balance. Deep cherry fruit with aromatic spice complexity and a smooth, rounded texture that speaks to careful maceration.
• Finish: Long and fruit-forward. Cherry and gentle spice linger with a warm, satisfying close.
