The Story
A two-ingredient nightcap that rode the wave of Coppola's 1972 film, pairing blended Scotch with almond-sweet amaretto. Swap the Scotch for vodka and it becomes the Godmother; add cream and you've got a French Connection's richer relative. Simple, spirit-forward, and built for the end of the night.
