Serve in an Old-fashioned glass
1 2⁄3 oz | Rémy Martin V.S.O.P. cognac |
3⁄4 oz | Disaronno amaretto |
Amaretto delicately flavours and sweetens cognac.
Godfather (Scotch whisky and amaretto); Godmother (vodka and amaretto); The Boss (bourbon and amaretto)
One of "The God(father)" trilogy of cocktails, the Godchild is predated by the very similar French Connection. According to Mark Torre's 1987 The Bartenders Cherry, the difference between a Godchild and a French Connection is that a Godchild is made with brandy of unstipulated origin while a French Connection specifically calls for cognac brandy in a Snifter glass.
