A two-ingredient after-dinner sipper of equal parts Cognac and amaretto, built over ice and stirred gently — the brandy's dried-fruit warmth wrapped in marzipan sweetness. A 1970s creation named for William Friedkin's 1971 film, it sits in the IBA's Contemporary Classics as the cognac cousin of the scotch-based Godfather. Effortless, rich, and unapologetically smooth.
