Apéritif Class with Nick
Portlanders are becoming big fans of apéritifs--appetite-whetting refreshments to sip with a plate of appetizers as you ease into your evening. Perfect for holiday celebrations, apéritifs are usually a mix of wine, spirits, herbs, and spices. Lighter than cocktails and easy to pair with food, they have the added value of stoking the appetite and, like digestifs (their after dinner counterparts), aiding digestion.
Elephants Delicatessen carries many classic European aperitifs. They can be enjoyed on their own or in cocktails.
