The former is a drink that is also hugely popular in Portuguese-speaking Brazil made of Cachaca, an alcoholic drink similar to rum made of sugar cane, added to a mix of sugar and lots of lime and ice. Ginjinha is a potent shot made from fermented ginja berries, similar to cherries.

In the many clubs around town, both drinks are hugely popular. The best bars are located in a number of areas including Bairro Alto, Santos and Alcantara. The night club scene is also concentrated into similar and very specific areas.

Many of the other places worth visiting are in and around Biarro Alto and keep going until around 06:00 on Friday and Saturdays for those that can last the sometimes frenetic pace. Many head to some of the late night restaurants around the city.
