Description
The Godfather is a simple but characterful cocktail that became popular in the 1970s, allegedly as Marlon Brando's favorite drink on the set of "The Godfather." The drink consists of just two ingredients and is built directly in the glass. It combines the smoky spice of Scotch whisky with the sweet, nutty almond notes of Amaretto. The result is a potent, slightly sweet, and warming sipping drink, perfect for a relaxing end to an evening.
Preparation
- Fill a tumbler glass with a large, clear ice cube.
- Pour the Scotch whisky and Amaretto directly into the glass over the ice.
- Stir gently to combine and chill the ingredients.
- Optionally, garnish with an orange peel.
