Queimada, which is also known as the Galician Fire Drink, is made from Licor de Orujo - a Spanish liquor made from fermenting and distilling the grape marc after grapes have been pressed- as well as bits of lemon peel, some sugar and coffee beans.There are two parts that make up the tradition of the Queimada in Galicia: the drink and the spell. It is believed by many that the tradition of the queimada actually originated from the Celts who settled in the region we now know as Galicia many centuries ago which explains the pagan feel of the tradition.
