nightcaps
Drinks before sleep
A nightcap is a drink taken before bed, typically alcoholic: Join me for a nightcap?
The term often carries a hint of social invitation or romantic suggestion.
Nightcap also refers to the final game in a baseball doubleheader.
The original sense—a cloth cap worn to bed for warmth—is now archaic.
