Riga Black Balsam

Riga Black Balsam dates back to 1752, when pharmacist Abraham Kunze created the herbal bitter in Riga. It has become one of Latvia's most famous drinks, recognised for its ceramic bottle, dark colour and complex botanical recipe.

Its history gives the brand rare depth: part apothecary tradition, part national icon, part modern cocktail ingredient. Riga Black Balsam brings genuine heritage and a strong point of difference to liqueur, bitter and after-dinner serves.
