A digestif is an alcoholic beverage typically served after a meal to aid digestion. These drinks are often stronger and more flavorful than aperitifs, which are consumed before a meal. Common types of digestifs include grappa, amaro, and cognac, each offering unique flavors and aromas that can enhance the dining experience. Digestifs are usually enjoyed in small quantities, often sipped slowly to savor their complexity. They can be served neat, on the rocks, or with a splash of water. The tradition of consuming digestifs varies by culture, with different regions favoring specific types of beverages to conclude a meal.
