Godfather
A two-ingredient powerhouse that pairs scotch with amaretto for a drink that is nutty, smooth, and irresistibly easy to make. Named after the 1972 Coppola film and equally iconic.
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz Blended scotch whisky
- 0.8 oz Amaretto
- orange twist (garnish) garnish
Pairs With
Pair with almond-based desserts, biscotti, or roasted nuts to echo the Godfather's smooth, nutty amaretto and scotch combination.
Instructions
Fill a rocks glass with one large ice cube
Pour scotch over the ice
Add amaretto
Stir gently for 10 seconds to combine
Express an orange twist over the drink and drop it in
Tips
Disaronno is the standard amaretto, but Lazzaroni adds a slightly drier, more almond-forward character Adjust the ratio to your taste; a 3:1 scotch-to-amaretto ratio keeps it drier and more spirit-forward Try this with a lightly peated scotch for an intriguing smoky-sweet combination
