Rīga Black Balsam Tropical 40% 0.5L

Latvia’s legendary herbal bitters — now with a tropical twist

LATVIA   ·   LATVIJAS BALZAMS   ·   500 ml · 40% ABV


What it is

Rīga Black Balsam is one of the oldest herbal liqueurs in the world — produced in Riga since 1752 to a closely guarded recipe of 24 botanicals. The Tropical edition keeps the full complexity of the original dark bitters and lifts it with bright tropical fruit notes, producing a drink that is at once deeply aromatic and surprisingly approachable.

Presented in the iconic ceramic bottle — a piece of Latvian craft tradition in itself — this 0.5L bottle is suited for sipping neat, over ice, or as a mixer in long drinks and cocktails.
