Description
The Godson is the creamy and smoother version of the classic Godfather. It takes the proven combination of Scotch whisky and amaretto and adds a layer of fresh cream. This addition transforms the potent sipping drink into a luxurious, mild after-dinner cocktail. The cream softens the bite of the whisky and combines with the amaretto to create a delicious, marzipan-like dessert in a glass.
Preparation
- Fill a tumbler glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the Scotch and amaretto into the glass and stir briefly.
- Gently float the cream over the back of a spoon onto the surface of the drink to create a layer.
- The drink is traditionally served unstirred.
