Godfather

The Godfather is the cocktail equivalent of a smoldering stare—simple, strong, and a little mysterious. Made with just two ingredients—Scotch whisky and amaretto—this slow-sipper is smoky, nutty, and subtly sweet, with the amaretto softening the edges of the whisky without overpowering it. Allegedly a favorite of Marlon Brando (hence the name), the Godfather is an after-dinner drink with gravitas—minimalist, masculine, and made for plotting in dimly lit rooms.
