Description

The French Connection is the epitome of a simple yet elegant after-dinner drink. Named after the classic film of the same name, it consists of just two ingredients in equal parts: fine French Cognac and sweet Italian Amaretto. The drink is simply stirred over ice and savored slowly. The rich, fruity notes of the Cognac blend perfectly with the sweet almond and marzipan aroma of the Amaretto. A timeless and uncomplicated pleasure.

Preparation

  1. Fill a tumbler glass with a large ice cube.
  2. Pour the Cognac and Amaretto directly into the glass over the ice.
  3. Stir gently to combine the ingredients and chill slightly.
  4. Serve without a garnish.
