Digestifs are typically alcoholic beverages that people drink after a meal to help with their digestion. They can be either wines or spirits, and they don't have to be high in alcohol content. One of the most popular types of digestifs are liqueurs, which come in many flavors such as coffee, chocolate and gingerbread, just to name a few.
Liqueurs can be delicious, but they aren't for everyone. Some people find digestifs too strong and overwhelming because of the alcohol content. Others don't like that fruit or tropical liqueurs such as pineapple or strawberry liqueur, often has a sweet flavor to it. In fact, some types are so sweet that just one or two drinks will put you over your recommended daily sugar intake. If you are looking for something with less of a sugar kick, then consider other options such as port wine or cider instead.
Digestifs are considered by many to help in digestion. They are often served after a meal to aid in the digestive process and help with settling an upset stomach or preventing indigestion. Digestifs can also be used as part of your bedtime routine, since they have calming effects, making it easier to fall asleep.
While you might think a cream or fruit liqueur isn't something you should consider drinking before going out on the town because it has too much sweetness attached to it, this is not always true. In fact, a digestif liqueur has less sugar content than most drinks you will find on the market.
The following list of liqueurs make for great digestifs:
- Limoncello
- Baileys Irish Cream
- Amaretto Disaronno Originale
Liqueurs are a great addition to your home bar or liquor cabinet, and is a very versatile beverage to have. It is great not only as after dinner digestif, but also to make great tasting cocktails that will wow your guests.
