Definition
A drink, usually alcohol, served before a meal to stimulate the appetite.
Etymology
From French 'apéritif,' derived from Latin 'aperire' meaning to open. The idea is that the drink 'opens' or prepares your stomach and appetite for food.
Kelly Says
Europeans have long understood that a small drink before dinner isn't about getting drunk—it's chemistry, opening your taste buds and appetite for the meal ahead!
