If you’d like to discover the mysterious properties of Riga’s national drink, you’d have a hard time finding a better place to sip the black herbal liquor than at Riga Black Magic. Enjoy delicious cake, chocolates and other snacks with coffee, tea or one of its special cocktails including the Black Mojito. The interior of wooden furniture and exposed brick walls evokes the 18th-century when Balzams was first concocted. Behind a bookcase are hidden stairs to the alchemist’s laboratory.
