Classic Digestifs
hi i'm joe campanelli for ehow.com,today we're going to talk about,digestives or in italy they call them,deja stevie these are spirits that you,drink after your meal and their purpose,is to help aid in digestion you'll often,find them in the back corner of your,liquor store covered in dust but don't,be afraid of them they're absolutely,delicious and a unique way to end your,meal,djs fall into two categories they're,generally either on the very strong side,like grappa or on the bitter side like,an italian dj's thief called amaro i'm,going to take you through a couple of my,favorites,and let's start with grappa so this is,one of my favorite grappas it's from a,distillery called poli and if you've,never had grappa before it's based on,pumice which is everything that's left,over after you've made wine so that's,the seeds the skins and a little bit of,the pulp in the past grappa's had a,reputation for being a really harsh,product sometimes with flavors of,wet soapy sponge or jet fuel but grappa,has come a long way there are some,really beautiful and elegant products,that you can have after your meal,i like to use this tulip shaped glass,the tulip glass will allow you to smell,the grappa,and it concentrates the flavors right in,this area over here,but without really burning your nose,from the alcohol,this is sort of an earthier grappa it's,made from pinot noir grapes you can also,have a grappa that's made for more,aromatic grapes and if you like that,sort of thing ask for a grappa made from,moscato there's also grappa that's,infused with different bitter herbs or,spices and sometimes you can even find,an oak aged grappa and that really,reminds you of a brandy or a cognac and,it'll be brown in color,maybe my favorite type of after dinner,drink is called amaro now amaro is an,italian,bitter herbal after dinner drink and,they're made all over italy this one's,from the ramatsothi distillery from,milan,every single amaro is very very,different and they trace their roots,back to the monastic tradition where you,would buy different herbal medicinal,cures for whatever that ailed you,and today italians drink tomorrow after,their meal to aid in digestion if,they've eaten maybe a little bit too,much,so every amaro is very different and,they range from,sort of bittersweet to intensely bitter,the most widely exported amaro is also,the most bitter it's called fernet,branca and fernet's actually a style and,branca is the brand and this one when,you taste it it really reminds you,oh it really reminds you of medicine i,mean this is sort of one of those things,where a spoonful of sugar would help the,fernet bronco go down and you can see,how this has a direct correlation to,those herbal medicinal cures,super dry and bitter now something,that's not quite as common but i like,really i like it quite a bit is,something that's called nuccino it's,based on green walnuts and it has an,infusion of different herbal and warming,spices such as cinnamon cardamom clove,and allspice it's something that's a,little bit more obscure but it's,definitely worth trying,another great after dinner drink is,called sambuca it's flavored with black,licorice and produced in italy but all,over europe they drink anise flavored,and black licorice flavored after dinner,drinks in lebanon it's a rock and greece,is ouzo,and a lot of times we'll drink this,with,half sambuca,and some water,you'll see that it sort of gets a little,bit cloudier in the water,so next time you want to end your meal,and impress your friends with something,a little bit different and unique pull,out a dja stevie like amaro grappa or,sambuca thanks so much for watching i'm,joe campanelli tune in to ehow.com for,more
