French: Something, exp. a drink, taken as an aid to digestion, either before but usually after a meal.
Compare with apéritif. Alternate meaning: Aperitif (record label) An apéritif is an alcoholic drink usually enjoyed as an appetiser before a large meal. ...
Digestifs often serve as a companion to dessert, and are often sweet and easy to sip.
If serving digestifs with dessert, try to match the dessert with the digestif; sweet desserts prefer sweeter drinks, while crackers or cookies prefer a complex cocktail.
In the last decade, it has begun to become popular to order sweet digestifs at bars in lieu of other drinks, and I have often seen folks who will pass a night with nothing but sweet drinks passing their lips.
