The recipe for this iconic drink, which was developed by the pharmacist Kunze in the mid-18th century, was created when he was looking for a panacea. The drink, which quickly gained popularity, received royal authorisation from Empress Catherine II in 1781, meaning that it was enjoyed not only in Russia but also for generations and still has a firm place in tradition today.

An interesting fact about Riga Black Balsam is that people used to believe in its medicinal properties. It was used to treat a variety of ailments, from colds and flu to digestive problems and even snake bites. Although no medicinal claims can be made today, its unique flavour remains and is definitely worth trying.

Riga Black Balsam Espresso is a unique and delicious liqueur that combines the classic flavour of Riga Black Balsam with the intense aroma of espresso. This liqueur is made from a secret blend of 24 natural ingredients, including roots, fruits, berries and spices.

After the carefully selected components have been brought together, they are matured for several months in oak barrels to give the flavours time to fully develop and give the liqueur its unmistakable depth and complexity.
