Serve in an Old-fashioned glass
1 2⁄3 oz | Bourbon whiskey |
5⁄6 oz | Disaronno amaretto |
Amaretto brilliantly enriches bourbon. I tried adding a couple of dashes of bitters but found myself preferring the simplicity of just the two ingredients.
Godfather (Scotch whisky and amaretto); Godmother (vodka and amaretto); Godchild (brandy and amaretto)
