Karelian balsam is a Russian herbal alcohol drink made from a blend of plants and berries.
It is recommended to drink it on its own, neat and at room temperature, although some people add it to tea or coffee.
People with more recreational inclinations also drink balsam with cherry juice, Sprite, or Coke.
Karelian balsam has real potential for cocktails, with a complex flavor and a strong tinting power.
Riga balsam is a more widely available alternative that can be used in recipes.
Karelian balsam is similar to Riga balsam, but may require slight adjustments in proportions when using it in recipes.
Karelian balsam can be used to make various cocktails, such as the Karelian toddy and the Petrovsky.
