Digestives: Bittersweet After-Dinner Sips to Finish in Style 🌿🍊
Discover the art of the digestif—an elegant after-dinner drink designed to round off a meal. From bittersweet amaro and bold fernet to aromatic herbal liqueurs, fortified vermouth, citrusy limoncello, smooth grappa, or aged brandy, these bitters, botanicals, and barrel notes deliver a refined finale.
Serve neat in a small glass, slightly chilled or over a single cube to open the aromatics; garnish with an orange twist or expressed lemon peel for a bright lift. Pair your pour with something sweet from Desserts, or keep it light with a low-ABV option like vermouth & soda—or go alcohol-free with ideas from Mocktails.
Browse the digestif recipes below and find your perfect nightcap—subtle, soothing, and unmistakably sophisticated. For more inspiration, explore our full Cocktails.
