Ingredients

How to make it

  1. Build both ingredients in an old-fashioned glass filled with ice.
  2. Stir gently.

Tip: Stir with plenty of cold, hard ice for 20 to 30 seconds. You want it chilled and silky, not cloudy.

About the God Father

Named after the 1972 film, pairing Italian amaretto with whisky.
