Description: A simple, two-ingredient cognac and amaretto sipper, named for the 1971 crime film of the same name.
Cultural Background: Rose to popularity in the 1970s, its name borrowed from the acclaimed film though with no direct plot connection.
Tips: Build directly in the glass over ice — no shaking or straining needed.
Variations: Adjust the ratio to taste; more amaretto makes for a sweeter, more almond-forward drink.
Serving Suggestion: Serve as a short, strong after-dinner sipper.
