frenchnounssingle-word-requeststranslation

In France, when gathered with friends, it is customary to drink beers or other light alcohol around 7pm, and this time is called apéritif (or apéro). Does this custom have an English (UK and/or US) equivalent? How would you say "on se verra à l'apéro"?

Best Answer

The term cocktail hour has been used in the US to mean

the interval before the evening meal during which cocktails and other alcoholic beverages are often served

However, this is not limited to beer and light alcoholic beverages, but may include wine or strong spirits as well.
