nightcap
Drink before sleep
A nightcap is a drink taken before bed, typically alcoholic: Join me for a nightcap?
The word often serves as a suggestive invitation to extend an evening.
Nightcap also refers to a soft cap worn to bed, now old-fashioned.
In baseball, the nightcap is the second game of a doubleheader—the one that closes out the night.
