Ginja9 Sour Cherry Liqueur - a Portuguese Tradition Loved by All, Now Available in the States!

Life is worth celebrating and we all deserve to treat ourselves and our loved ones - not just on birthdays, celebrations and holidays. Ginja9, the Portuguese sour cherry liqueur that has delighted for generations in Portugal is now available in the U.S. marketplace as part of that celebration. The name derives from “ginja”, the Portuguese word for “sour cherry”, and the number 9, which represents love and peace according to numerology. This traditional cordial that dates back to an early 17th century recipe created by Galician monks who infused sour cherries in alcohol , a 12 month process called maceration . This concoction was an immediate success and recipes have been passed on through generations as home recipes. Centuries later, the liqueur became commercially available in Portugal, where it has been served as a treasured national spirit. We still use this same exact process for Ginja9.

Ginja9, a 92-point winner at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge and a 91- point at the Wine Enthusiast, is 100% natural with no added colors or preservatives. It is made from sour cherries (also known as morello cherries) that are grown in orchards that contain over 20,000 trees owned by our producer to maintain the highest quality fruit. Our fruis is th only one certified from the European Union by being from the region of Óbidos (Óbidos is know for its perfect micro-climate to grow this fruit). Real people make this liqueur from field to bottle.

To further heighten the sipping experience, it has become popular to drink this sour cherry cordial out of chocolate cups, which is the best way to catch every last ambrosial drop of liqueur. In Lisbon and other parts of Portugal, ginjinha in a chocolate cup has become an everyday treat that is served in its charming cafés and shops to end a meal or as an afternoon treat. As tourism has soared in Portugal, visitors from other countries have been searching to replicate that experience at home. That’s why we’ve worked with Earth Delicacies to import fine Belgian dark chocolate cups to pair with Ginja9, sold with the liqueur in a value pack and also separately.
