Riga Black Riga Black Balsam Currant 200ml

Riga Black Balsam Currant is a currant-flavored variant of Latvia's signature herbal liqueur, built on the same recipe of botanicals, roots, and spices dating back to the 18th century, with black currant flavoring added on top of the base balsam. The result softens the original's bitter, medicinal edge with a tart, slightly tannic currant character, giving it more fruit presence than the classic black balsam while keeping the herbal depth underneath. Expect a thick texture and a finish that balances bitterness with dark fruit rather than leaning fully sweet. It's a good pick for drinkers who want to explore the amaro/bitters category without starting at the most bitter end.

How to drink Riga Black Balsam Currant

Chill it well before pouring — this style is meant to be drunk cold, which keeps the currant fruit forward and the herbal bitterness in the background. It also mixes well with cola or hot tea, both traditional Latvian ways to serve it.
