Glossary entry (derived from question below)
French term or phrase:
Digestifs supérieurs
English translation:
Premium digestifs
French term
Digestifs supérieurs
Does anyone think up an elegant way of translating this? There is already a heading for "Digestifs" so I need to differentiate between the two.
Many thanks.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
Premium digestifs
You hear "aperitif" all the time on UK cookery programmes, "digestif" is rarer.
I'm not a fan of "after-dinner liqueurs" (the term, at least).

[OK, so it's a German site]
But here we have the London Steakhouse:
"A brand new marble-top bar lines the length of one wall showcasing the finest spirits paired with premium digestifs."
