Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1.5 ounces 45 milliliters bourbon whiskey
  • 0.75 ounces 22 milliliters amaretto liqueur
  • 1 cup ice

Equipment

  • Cocktail mixing glass or any drinking glass
  • Bar spoon or long spoon for stirring
  • Jigger or shot glass for measuring
  • Strainer (if using a mixing glass separate from serving glass)
  • Ice cube tray or ice maker

Method
 

  1. Fill your serving glass with ice until it is about three-quarters full.
  2. Measure 1.5 ounces of bourbon whiskey using a jigger for precision.
  3. Pour the measured bourbon directly over the ice in your glass.
  4. Measure 0.75 ounces of amaretto liqueur using your jigger.
  5. Add the amaretto into the glass with the bourbon and ice, allowing the liqueurs to blend.
  6. Stir the mixture gently with a bar spoon for 10 to 15 seconds to chill and combine flavors.
  7. Taste your cocktail and adjust the ratio of bourbon or amaretto in future servings if desired.
  8. Serve the Godfather cocktail immediately while it is cold and well balanced.

Notes

Chill your glass in the freezer for five minutes before preparing for a colder drink with less dilution.
