Near Largo de São Domingos there are several tiny bars serving up medicinal sized shots of Ginginha, a potent, punch-packing cherry brandy. The most popular such joint is A Ginginha, which has been inebriating locals and visitors since around 1840. You can take your medicine com (with) or sem (without) cherries...most folk prefer cough syrup! Try it once.
