This French word is derived from the Latin verb aperire, which means “to open.”<br /> <br /> A &#039;&#039;&#039;digestif&#039;&#039;&#039; is an [[alcoholic beverage]] that is taken just after a meal, purportedly as an aid to digestion — hence the name, which is borrowed from French. If a &#039;&#039;&#039;digestif&#039;&#039;&#039; is a bitters, it will contain bitter or carminative [[herbs]] that some believe will aid digestion. In contrast to &#039;&#039;&#039;apéritifs&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;digestifs&#039;&#039;&#039; usually contain more alcohol.<br /> <br /> Digestifs are usually taken straight (neat). Common choices are [[amari]], [[bitters]], [[brandy]], [[grappa]], herbal liqueur, [[limoncello]], [[ouzo]], [[tequila]], and [[whisky]].<br /> <br /> Some wines (usually [[fortified wines]]) are served as digestifs — for example, [[sherry]], [[port]], and [[madeira]].<br /> {{CategoryLineIngredients}}<br /> [[Category:Ingredients]]<br /> [[Category:Beverages]]<br /> [[Category:Alcoholic beverages]]<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- footer hashtags --&gt;&lt;code &#039;hashtagrev:12032020&#039;&gt;[[Special:Search/aparitifanddigestif|#aparitifanddigestif]] [[Special:Search/bitters|#bitters]] [[Special:Search/alcoholicbeverage|#alcoholicbeverage]] [[Special:Search/amari|#amari]] [[Special:Search/herbs|#herbs]] [[Special:Search/fortifiedwines|#fortifiedwines]] [[Special:Search/madeira|#madeira]] [[Special:Search/olives|#olives]] [[Special:Search/alcoholicdrink|#alcoholicdrink]] [[Special:Search/sherry|#sherry]] [[Special:Search/alcoholicbeverages|#alcoholicbeverages]] <br /> &lt;/code&gt;&lt;!-- /footer hashtags --&gt;</div>
