From The Godfather (1972)
The Godfather
Pairing
Serve when
Pour one as the wedding winds down and the family's business moves indoors.
What to drink
The cocktail actually named after the film — Scotch softened with amaretto. It never appears on screen (the family pours red wine at the wedding and the restaurant), but it's the obvious drink for a Corleone dinner. A suggested pairing, and a nod to the film's own legacy.
Ingredients
Steps
- Add the Scotch and amaretto to a rocks glass filled with ice.
- Stir gently to combine and chill.
- Garnish with an orange twist if you like. Sip slowly — it's rich.
