Cross Keys Gin, between blooming marshes of Lithuania and stony Estonian islands, lays the crown jewel of Eastern Baltic coast R ga, the capital of Latvia. This city has always bred all kinds of rebels: it was the cradle of Reformation, hub of revolutionaries and homestead of anarchists. Its history has inspired unique and rebellious drinks as well.
