A traditional Italian after-dinner drink, known as a digestivo, is commonly enjoyed to aid digestion following a heavy meal. Popular choices include limoncello (a sweet lemon liqueur from southern Italy), amaro (herbal bittersweet liqueurs like Fernet-Branca or Averna), grappa (a potent pomace brandy), and sambuca (an anise-flavored liqueur often served with floating coffee beans). These drinks are typically served neat in small glasses at the conclusion of dining.
