The Godfather is one of numerous cocktails named for notable films. Given the popularity of the Godfather films, few would question the source of this cocktail’s name.

We may also wonder why there were no drinks named after High Noon or Lost Weekend. For cocktails named after celebrities, see the Mary Pickford.
