Riga Black Balsam 1752 Original Recipe Blackcurrant 30% vol. 0.7 l online kaufen

Riga Black Balsam 1752 Original Recipe Black CURRANT 30% vol. 0.7 l is an exceptional Latvian herbal liqueur speciality that combines the time-honoured Riga Black Balsam with the natural juice of Nordic blackcurrants. It is produced by Latvijas Balzams in Riga, whose history dates back to 1752. The base is the classic Riga Black Balsam herbal essence, which is extracted from carefully selected botanical ingredients using a traditional method. A special single-barrel infusion technology is used, in which the botanicals are macerated in a mixture of alcohol and water. The essence is then blended with other ingredients such as honey, caramel and natural fruit juices. Bottled at 30% ABV in a 0.7-litre bottle made of natural clay, Riga Black Balsam Black Currant combines Baltic herbal tradition with the fruity aroma of blackcurrants.


What makes Riga Black Balsam Black Currant so special is the combination of the original historical recipe from 1752 and a modern interpretation of the classic herbal bitter. The natural blackcurrant juice complements the traditional herbal base and gives this variant its distinctive character. The careful production of the Riga Black Balsam essence forms the heart of the production process and preserves the centuries-old tradition of Latvian spirits production. The distinctive clay bottle is also an integral part of the brand’s identity and serves to protect the contents. As a fruity herbal liqueur with blackcurrants, this speciality combines traditional bitter recipes with versatile uses in modern cocktail culture.
