Deliciously different, exceptionally smooth and velvety on the palate, Riga Black Balsam
opens a whole world of sensations with its 24 ingredients. Subtle hints
of linden blossom, birch bud, valerian root, raspberry, bilberry, and
ginger as well as touches of nutmeg and black peppercorn tease the
palate and come alive in the glass. Riga Black Balsam,
a most valued drink and the best gift of friendship, was first made in
Riga in the middle of the 18th century. The legend has it that Empress
Catherine the Great of Russia, having fallen ill during a visit to
Latvia, was cured after drinking Riga Black Balsam.
Riga Black Balsam
is carefully prepared in oak barrels, which allow its characteristic
strength and the slightly bitter-sweet taste to develop. You will feel
elixir’s fruity aroma and its special taste with every sip. Enjoy it
straight up, on the rocks, or mixed in a variety of cocktails.
