A Cheerful Pour of European Cherry — Ginja9 Cherry Portuguese Liqueur
Ginja9 Cherry Portuguese Liqueur brings the traditional flavors of Portuguese “ginja” (sour cherry liqueur) into an accessible, modern bottle — offering sweet-tart cherry character, gentle warmth, and a smooth finish. It’s designed for lovers of fruit liqueurs, easy sipping, and cocktails that highlight natural fruitiness rather than heavy oak or spice.
Tasting Experience
Appearance: Deep ruby red, bright and inviting, with a glossy, syrup-like sheen.
Nose: Ripe sour cherries, fresh red fruit, a hint of almond-like maraschino cherry character, gentle herbal undertones and a soft sweet-fruit aroma.
Palate: Vibrant cherry fruit, tart-sweet balance, with notes of sour cherry, red berries, mild almond or seed-stone bitterness, light sweetness, and a subtle liqueur-style warmth. The texture is silky and smooth, with a pleasant density from the syrupy base.
Finish: Medium, with lingering cherry fruit, gentle sweetness, and light almond or cherry-stone echo — bright, balanced, and refreshing.
Craftsmanship
Ginja9 follows the traditional Portuguese method for “ginja” liqueurs, macerating sour cherries (and possibly their pits for almond-like nuance) in alcohol and sweetening to produce a liqueur that captures both fruit vibrancy and mellow warmth. The result is a spirit that emphasizes fresh fruit character, natural acidity, and a smooth sweet-tart finish — ideal for sipping or mixing.
Best Enjoyed
Serve chilled or over ice; a small glass at room temperature also highlights its syrupy richness and fruit intensity. Ginja9 is excellent on its own as a digestif, or paired with desserts (especially chocolate or vanilla-based), used in cocktails (like a cherry-liqueur spritz or a twist on a sour), or drizzled over ice cream or fresh fruit for a lush, fruity finish.
Enjoy the vibrant cherry character and European-style sweetness of Ginja9 Cherry Portuguese Liqueur on Royal Batch for a bright, fruit-forward liqueur that’s versatile, approachable, and full of charm.
