French Connection

The French Connection is a simple and elegant cocktail that gained popularity in the 1970s, possibly due to the success of the eponymous film. It is made by mixing equal parts of French cognac and Italian amaretto liqueur. The name suggests a 'connection' between French and Italian spirits, mirroring the Franco-American crime connection depicted in the film.

Flavor

The French Connection showcases the deep fruitiness of cognac and the sweet almond flavor of amaretto, with a smooth, warm, and slightly sweet mouthfeel, and a long-lasting finish.
