digestif
Postprandial alcoholic beverage
A digestif is an alcoholic drink served after a meal, believed to aid digestion.
Brandy, cognac, amaro, and certain liqueurs are typical digestifs.
The term is French and contrasts with apéritif, which comes before the meal: We lingered over digestifs and coffee.
