Kindschi Röteli – Traditional Swiss Cherry Liqueur

Discover the authentic taste of Swiss cherry liqueur with Kindschi Röteli, made from a traditional family recipe dating back to the 1800s. Originating in the mountain villages of Graubünden, Röteli was once homemade and offered during New Year’s visits, where local farmers would toast the season with a glass of cherry liqueur and cake. Today, Röteli is enjoyed throughout Switzerland as a sweet and spiced companion to festive moments, après ski, and cozy evenings—whether served neat, in cocktails, or alongside dessert.

Kindschi Röteli is crafted by macerating dried cherries with hand-picked spices like cinnamon, clove, and vanilla, blended with pure Swiss water. The result is a naturally flavored liqueur with a rich cherry bouquet, warm spice notes, and a smooth, lingering finish. As the largest and most recognized producer of Röteli in Switzerland, Kindschi continues to honor this alpine heritage while offering a refined product for modern tastes. Whether you're searching for a Christmas liqueur, a New Year’s cocktail base, or a unique celebration drink, Röteli delivers tradition and quality in every sip.
