Italian Before- and After-Dinner Drinks
Aperitivi and digestivi are the bookends of a traditional Italian meal. Italians generally start aperitivo any time between 5 and 7 p.m. and have a refreshing aperitivo -- on the rocks or as a cocktail -- while enjoying some savory snacks. After dinner, the perfect way to settle the stomach and aid digestion is to sip a digestivo.
