French Connection Cocktail Recipe
The French Connection is a simple two-ingredient cocktail made with Cognac and amaretto. It's smooth, slightly sweet, and has a nice mix of fruity and almond flavors. You can make it in just a few minutes, so it's perfect when you want something easy to sip after dinner or at the end of a long day. Serve it over ice with a lemon or orange twist if you like.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz Cognac
- 1 oz amaretto liqueur
- Ice cubes
- Lemon or orange twist for garnish optional
Instructions
- Fill a rocks glass or old-fashioned glass with ice cubes.
- Pour in 1 1/2 oz of Cognac.
- Add 1 oz of amaretto liqueur.
- Gently stir with a bar spoon for about 10 to 15 seconds until everything is mixed and chilled.
- If you like, garnish with a lemon or orange twist. Serve right away and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness: Prefer your cocktail a little less sweet? Try using 2 oz of Cognac and 1 oz of amaretto for a 2:1 ratio.
- Add a garnish (or skip it): This cocktail tastes great on its own, but a lemon or orange twist adds a nice citrus aroma.
- Serve it your way: Enjoy it over ice to keep it cold and let the flavors mellow as you sip. You can also serve it without ice if you prefer a stronger, more intense flavor.
