What is Mount Rigi Swiss Aperitif?
Mount Rigi Swiss Aperitif is a unique blend of Alpine herbs and spices, offering a taste of the Swiss mountains in every sip. Interestingly, this aperitif is made using water from the Rigi mountain spring, which is naturally filtered through layers of rock dating back to the Tertiary period, over 65 million years ago.
Why do we love Mount Rigi Swiss Aperitif?
Mount Rigi Swiss Aperitif offers cocktail lovers a refreshing twist on traditional aperitifs, blending Swiss Alpine herbs with citrus notes for a uniquely crisp and versatile flavor profile. Unlike most rums, this Swiss-made spirit is crafted using pure glacier water and locally-sourced botanicals, including gentian, lemon balm, and elderflower, resulting in a distinctly Alpine character that shines in both classic and modern cocktail recipes.
How do you drink Mount Rigi Swiss Aperitif?
Mount Rigi Swiss Aperitif shines when sipped chilled and neat, allowing its delicate herbal notes to fully blossom on the palate. It's also a fantastic addition to light, refreshing cocktails perfect for warm summer evenings, and pairs beautifully with alpine cheeses, cured meats, and fresh fruit desserts.

Mount Rigi Swiss Aperitif is crafted using a blend of 13 botanicals, including Swiss herbs and spices, which are macerated in a grape-based spirit.

- Jamie L.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 starsWorth a try
This is sweeter than I was expecting. But that’s ok, I enjoy it on the rocks for dessert.
- Raul C.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 starsBest part is the bottle
I didn’t really know what to expect with this drink it was much too sweet for me probably would have been better with carbonated water or something
CCuriadaWe definitely recommend in trying this out in a Spritz. Or use in cocktails as a substitute for another liqueur like Luxardo Maraschino. There are also some recipes linked on the product page that may steer you in the right direction. Hope you can continue to experiment and find something that suits you! Cheers.
