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!
