Jean,

Well, I'll admit to liking both Campari and various brands of Amaro. So, I'm hardly one to laugh at Fernet. Mind you, I wouldn't drink it.

Coming clean here...actually what I have is not a true Riga but a Russian product (See link)

http://alviz.com/news/detail.php?ID=2302

It clearly says:

Северное сияние - удивительное явление, которое завораживает своей фантастической красотой.

Недаром, на подарочной упаковке бальзама “ПОМОРЬЕ” изображены разноцветные сполохи - один из символов Северного края.

Бальзам «Поморье» хорошо сочетается с водкой. Возможно применение бальзама в качестве ароматического и вкусового компонента к коктейлям. Это прекрасная добавка к чаю и кофе. Рекомендуемая доза – 1-2 чайных ложки на чашку чая или 2-3 чайных ложки на чашку кофе. Крепость 40%.


That clears things up a LOT! :lol:

I hate all the marketing crap they put on bottles nowadays. I mean, " “ПОМОРЬЕ” изображены разноцветные сполохи - один из символов Северного края."? WTF does that have to do with a liquor?
