Seating guests and taking a drink order Purposes of aperitifs what types of alcoholic beverages are used as apéritifs? There is no one particular drink served as an aperitif and they vary by region and cuisine.

Light-bodied white wines - Lighter, crisp white wines, served cool, make an excellent aperitif. Wines like Sauvignon blanc, white Bordeaux, Chablis, Sancerre, Muscadet, or German Riesling are great options.

In the south of France, this is a very common aperitif, especially on a hot summer afternoon or evening. It is joyous and fun and a great match to many finger food appetizers. Flavored Liqueurs - Some regions in Europe tend to serve more alcoholic, flavored liqueurs as an apéritif. Examples include Ouzo in Greece and Pastis in southern France, both anise-flavored and often served on ice, dilu
