Licor Beirão is a Portuguese liqueur. Its recipe is a trade secret; the producer, J. Carranca Redondo, Lda., only states it is made from a double distillation of seeds and herbs from all over the world, including Malaysia, Brazil, and Thailand. It has 22% ABV.

This delicious one and known liqueur well Portuguese is produced in the Mountain range of the Lousã. It is prepared with natural products from a double destillation of 12 plants, medicinal and others of strong aroma, such as: eucalipt, cinnamon, rosemary.

The liqueur was produced in the 19th century as a medicinal product for stomach aches by a pharmacy in Lousã. In the late 19th century alcoholic beverages were no longer qualified as medicinal but the liqueur was kept in production in a small factory owned by the son-in-law of the original producer. In 1929 the liqueur entered a contest on the 2nd Beirão Congress where it earned a gold medal and its name of Beirão. In 1940 the factory was bought by José Carranca Redondo (1921-2005). In the 1960s Redondo drove Beirão to a nationwide success. He understood the importance of advertising – he used to say that after laying an egg, the hen clucks – so he launched the first Portuguese advertising campaign using billboards.
