BIRZĪ BALSAM!
BIRZĪ Balzams – a unique birch elixir
BIRZĪ Balzams is a premium strong alcoholic drink (40%), capturing the essence of Latvian nature and artisanal craftsmanship. Unlike conventional balzams found in supermarkets, BIRZĪ Balzams is made from real, natural ingredients – fresh birch sap, birch sap syrup, birch sap vodka, and several other secret ingredients held tightly by the master distiller.
Each bottle is a true work of art – a uniquely shaped 0.5L glass bottle wrapped in aromatic birch leaves and placed inside an elegant brown cardboard box. Only 1000 bottles are produced each year, and every single one carries its own unique number, highlighting its exclusivity and authenticity.
BIRZĪ Balzams is more than a drink – it’s a layered taste experience, revealing earthy tones, birch warmth, and a character truly inspired by nature.
Craft Spirits and Liqueurs Made in Latvia – Local Quality and Innovation
Latvia’s craft beverage scene has blossomed in recent years, with small producers creating high-quality spirits and liqueurs that capture the essence of local nature and tradition. If you’re looking for Latvian-made drinks, we offer a carefully curated selection of locally crafted alcoholic beverages.
Among the most recognized Latvian producers are:
Līgatnes Vīna Darītava – known not only for its wines, but also for fruit distillates and berry liqueurs.
Liķiera Fabrika – creating elegant, locally inspired liqueurs such as rhubarb, currant, and raspberry.
Birzī – pioneers in innovative spirits, offering birch sap distillates and the signature Birzī Balzams.
Obdo – focused on premium-quality drinks from Latvian-grown fruits and berries.
Distillers Republic – bold and modern gins with Latvian character, featuring pine buds and lavender.
Tēviņkalna Vīna Darītava – experimental craft distillery working with homegrown ingredients.
Latvian spirits and liqueurs combine craftsmanship, heritage, and bold flavors – making them ideal for special occasions or as memorable gifts.
You can explore and order these Latvian craft beverages online or visit our cozy store in Riga.
