Bitter almond, the original drink of the Algarve

August is the time to head to the Algarve! The region we are so proud of has just been named ‘World's Leading Beach Destination’ at the 2024 World Travel Awards for the third time, in a competition that included renowned destinations such as the Maldives and the Seychelles.

If, like us, you have decided to head to the Algarve this year, here is a tip you really must try: Bitter almond, a traditional Algarve recipe that comes from almond trees in bloom and sprouts in the glass it is served in. 

It is recommended to serve it with ice and just enjoy the warmth of southern Portugal.

Any suggestions? 

Amendoeirinha and Dómuz are on sale this month on our website (-16%), which could be an excellent bet for those who are trying this famous Portuguese liqueur for the first time.

Amarguinha remains the most famous bitter almond liqueur, so much so that nowadays some people simply call the liqueur amarguinha. An unmissable suggestion.

Take a look at our suggestions for today and get to know this ‘must-try’ liqueur from the Algarve, and if so, have a great holiday!
