Aged Liqueurs Although they can come off a bit pricey, they are definitely worth it. Aged liquors are distilled for a longer period, causing them to be much more bitter.

Digestifs open arms to choosing from a large variety of options. You can always start from your comfort drinks. Toronto or Manhattan are a safe start for this case, if starting with cocktails.
