An aperitif, apéritif (Fr.), or aperitivo (It.) is an alcoholic drink usually enjoyed as an appetizer before a large meal. It is often served with something small to eat, like olives or crackers. The word is derived from the Latin verb "aperire", which means to open. The apéritif indicates by extension the food-picking which can precede the meal. This includes finger food, often pistachios, chips or salted nuts. On broader terms, the apéritif applies to all types of food (small cakes, cut out fruits, pork-butcheries, cheeses and other imaginative assortments) which are served alongside drinks, corresponding to the Spanish tapas, Russian zakouski or Turkish meze. An apéritif can also refer to a social occasion involving cocktails and a light meal without the necessity of a full meal afterwards.
