What to drink

February 17th, 2007

Madeira makes its own beer: Coral. Don`t miss it! 

Try a Nikita if you like the idea of mixing beer, white wine and ice cream. Quit unusual and very tasty. 

Poncha, is a must. Made of aguardente (the local fire water made from sugar canes) and fresh squeezed lemon or orange and honey, its a favourite amongst locals and visitors. If you are in Madeira and have a cold, I can guarantee you the locals will advice you to take a Poncha as the best cure. 

 Ginja is another Madeiran speciality, made from cherries, is a pleasant and sweet drink presented mostly as an aperitif. 

 And, Never to be missed the famous Madeira Wine.
