The special dishes of Jelgava - main course "Dukes sail" and dessert "Charlotte's kiss" are now supplemented with a refreshing drink - "Jelgava's bellini".

One of the main ingredients of the drink is sea-buckthorn juice which is also used in Jelgava’s special dishes "Dukes sail" and "Charlotte's kiss". The recipe is the work of the chef of family restaurant "Hercogs" Andris Rūmītis together with Arnis Bikšus.

A. Rūmītis tells that Jelgava’s special dishes are very popular with the clients of the restaurant which gave the idea that a cocktail would be a great supplement. From now on the cocktail will be available at restaurant “Hercogs”.
