The best drinks for an aperitif

The purpose of an aperitif is to improve appetite. That is why dry wines and vermouths, pomegranate or grapefruit juice are best suited as a pre-meal drink. All those drinks that contain alcohol, acid or herbal extracts. They do an excellent job, unlike sweet wines, because sugar, on the contrary, dulls the feeling of hunger.

The dose of the aperitif depends on the strength of the drink and its type. Ideally, this could be 30-50 grams of cognac or 100-150 grams of prosecco, dry wine or brut champagne.

Combined aperitifs can be wine and juice next to each other in glasses. Mixed cocktails are a variety of cocktails, while single cocktails are drinks without any additives. It is not at all necessary to choose an alcohol-containing drink as an aperitif. The main thing is that it does not conflict with the drink that you plan to drink during the feast.

The list of the most popular aperitifs is topped by sherry. It is followed by: brut champagne, white or rose wine, anisette, cognac, martinis, vermouths, absinthe, Becherovka, Calvados, unsweetened juices and mineral water.
