Godfather cocktail in a rocks glass

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz Scotch
  • 0.75 oz Amaretto

Method

  1. Fill a rocks glass with ice.
  2. Add the Scotch and the amaretto.
  3. Stir gently for 10 seconds.

Tips

  • Start with less amaretto. You can add more after the first sip.
  • A Godfather made with bourbon is also good.

Best Scotch for the Godfather

Use a blended Scotch with some body. Peat and amaretto do not always agree, so try a bottle without heavy smoke first.
