This came up again in my rotation. Still love this cocktail. I now like my cocktail a bit drier so I backed off the amaretto by half. Was still wonderful.

I’ve previously used another recipe that didn’t call for any bitters. I don’t own Bokers so I just added 1 dash of good ‘ole Angostura and that worked quite well.

15ml favorite heavily peated scotch,
30ml fine quality blended scotch,
15ml amaretto.
burnt orange peel, express oil and garnish.
always my favorite.

Has this inspired me to fiddle with scotch and amaretto a lot before? Yes. But, I think this is the first time I've actually tried it as a straight drink. I did 60ml grouse winter cask, 5ml laphroaig (to mimic a minorly smokey blended scotch) 25ml amaretto, and a dash of ango. It's a lot more "scotch on the rocks, with a little almond" than it sounds. Definitely at the ~3:1. And I think unfortunately it's my tastes that mean this isn't great. It certainly is a nice upgrade to scotch-on-the-rocks

Made my first Godfather this evening using the 3:1 ratio of a Macallen 12 yr single malt and DiSaronno. I wanted to avoid a peaty Scotch for my first one. I’m hooked and looking forward to trying a variety of Scotches and ratios. I have some bitters to try as well.

Just got my first bottle of Boker's Bitters today, and I'm on a mad spree... Didn't use top tier amaretto. Monkey Shoulder'ing the whisky load. Two dashes of the bitters... Surprisingly ok. But now I'm brainstorming subs for the Boker's; black walnut?... Worth a revisit. (15 Jun 2023, 2:19p)

So simple, yet so elegant. A perfect go-to for a quick and stylish cocktail.

Dumb question maybe, I currently don't have any blended scotch whisky and really Wana try this, would single malt work too?

Do you have a recipe for a godmother? Can't seem to find it.

Great for evening sipping. Wonderful balance.

We love it!, nice combination!
