IN THE GLASS (CONTINUED)

Digestifs actually have quite a unique history in Europe, having initially started hundreds of years ago with an eye toward wellness. For example, chartreuse was developed by monks at a French monastery as an “elixir of life.” Drambuie, on the other hand, was developed by a royal physician as a secret elixir. “There’s incredible storytelling that can go along with the products,” says Caporale.

“I think of digestifs more as a service style, or more specifically a service time. You can essentially serve any spirit as a digestif; the defining factor is that it's being served after a meal.” —Anthony Caporale
