                                                    Apéritifs (/əˈpɛrɨtiːf/) is alcoholic drinks that are normally served with                                                      meals.An apéritif (also spelled aperitif) is usually served before a meal to stimulate the appetite. This is contrasting with digestifs, which are served at the end of a meal to aid digestion, although modern medicine discredits this supposed aid in digestion.^{[citation needed]} Apéritif, by extension, is the name of the snack that can precede the meal, and all the food that can come with the drink. This includes an Amuse-bouche, such as crackers, cheese, pâté, or olives.^[1][2] This French word is derived from the Latin verb aperire, which means “to open.”
If a digestif is a bitters, it will contain bitter or carminative herbs, which are thought to aid digestion.^[3] Digestifs, which are usually taken straight (neat), generally contain more alcohol than apéritifs. Common choices are amari, bitters, brandy, grappa, herbal liqueur, limoncello, ouzo, tequila, and whisky.
Some wines (usually fortified wines) are served as digestifs — for example, sherry, port, and madeira.
