Godfather

A blunt, after-dinner duo: smoky blended Scotch leaned against the sweet, apricot-pit warmth of amaretto, built over ice and stirred just enough to marry. It rose with Italian amaretto's 1970s American debut and the cultural wake of Coppola's 1972 film — folklore ties it to Marlon Brando — making it equal parts whisky cocktail and pop-culture artifact. Two ingredients, no citrus, no apology.
