Why Is It Called a Godfather?
I prefer blended scotch when mixing it into a cocktail and reserve single malt for sipping by itself.

That said, dont go for a bottom-shelf bottle.
The Famous Grouse and Monkey Shoulder are both good options.
Theyre both blends, moderately priced, and bottles Id also still be happy to sip solo.

Look for Gozio or Luxardo amaretto.
The Perfect Balance
Balance is key to enjoying this cocktail.
The amaretto should sweeten up the drink, but going too far will result in a sickeningly sugary cocktail.

A rocks glass with a few ice cubes is all it’s crucial that you enjoy a Godfather cocktail.
Stir to chill and dilute the drink for about 20 seconds.
Strain into a rocks glass with 1 large or 2 to 3 small ice cubes.
