Licor Beirão

Portugal’s Golden Liqueur of Sun, Spice & Tradition.
Licor Beirão is one of Portugal’s most iconic spirits, born in the rolling hills of the Beira region and crafted from a closely guarded blend of aromatic botanicals. This golden liqueur has been made in the same family-owned distillery since the 19th century, using a recipe passed down through generations — a recipe that includes herbs, seeds and spices sourced from Portugal and far beyond, creating a flavour profile that’s warm, inviting and unmistakably unique.

Its charm lies in its balance: sweet but not heavy, herbal yet mellow, with a comforting aromatic warmth that feels like a gentle kiss of Mediterranean sunshine. In Ireland, Licor Beirão has become a quiet favourite among those who’ve travelled to Portugal — a nostalgic reminder of warm evenings, long dinners and relaxed conversations under the night sky. But even for newcomers, it delivers an instantly appealing mix of spice, citrus and soft sweetness.

Smooth, versatile and wonderfully fragrant, Licor Beirão can be sipped neat, enjoyed over ice or used to create easy, refreshing cocktails at home. It’s a bottle that brings a touch of Portuguese hospitality into any kitchen or bar.

Why we love it:
We love Licor Beirão for its effortless charm — sweet, aromatic and beautifully balanced. Its blend of herbs and spices creates a flavour that’s comforting without being heavy and exotic without being overpowering. It’s perfect neat, chilled or mixed into simple cocktails, and it carries a nostalgic warmth that transports you straight to Portugal with each sip.
