Riga Black Balsam 1752 Original Recipe Black CURRANT is a modern herbal bitter from Latvia, containing 30 per cent in a 0.5-litre bottle, which combines the legendary Riga Black Balsam with the intense flavour of natural Nordic blackcurrants. The original’s time-honoured recipe is enhanced with a fruity element, creating a harmonious balance of herbs, berries and a delicate bittersweet flavour. At its heart lies the characteristic Riga Black Balsam Essence, produced using the company’s own single-barrel infusion technology. Selected botanicals are gently macerated in a mixture of alcohol and water before the essence is blended with honey, caramel, natural blackcurrant juice and other ingredients. This speciality is traditionally bottled in the distinctive clay bottles, which protect the contents from light whilst preserving the unmistakable appearance of Riga Black Balsam.


Riga Black Balsam Black CURRANT combines the spicy depth of the classic herbal bitter with the fruity freshness of ripe blackcurrants. The result is a well-balanced, semi-bitter herbal liqueur that is equally impressive when enjoyed neat or in long drinks and cocktails. Its intense berry aroma and the harmonious blend of sweet and tart notes make it a versatile speciality for connoisseurs of exceptional herbal liqueurs.
