From Fernet Branca to Suze, Aperitives and Digestives are on the shelves of every liquor store, and in many cultures are served as everyday drinks—by themselves or in cocktails. But though the purpose they serve today is mostly for enjoyment, these herbal drinks and their history (some dating back to centuries ago) also reveal important medicinal properties.
Through this class you will learn about (and taste) some of today’s major aperitive and digestive spirits, the herbs and plants they’re composed of, and—through their medicinal actions—their physiological impact on your health.
