Riga Black Balsam Black Currant is a fruit-forward interpretation of the traditional Latvian herbal liqueur, where the original blend of botanicals is enhanced with natural black currant juice to create a fresher, more approachable profile. With an alcohol content of 30%, it is noticeably lighter than the classic version, allowing ripe black currant notes - sweet, tangy, and distinctly aromatic - to take the lead.
The herbal components remain present in the background, adding depth and balance without overpowering the fruit character. The texture is smooth and rounded, while the finish combines a gentle berry acidity with soft herbal undertones.
This variant is suitable for drinking neat, over ice, or as a flavorful base in cocktails and sparkling drinks, particularly appealing to those who prefer fruitier, milder liqueurs compared to the original Riga Black Balsam.
