The Godfather.
It’s not just a book, and a movie, and then two more movies.
It’s also an easy-to-make, ’70s-era cocktail pairing whiskey with almond-flavored amaretto.
Now, most people opt for scotch here, but bourbon is also a fine way to go. And that’s what you’ll find in the version pictured above, which comes from Anvil Bar & Refuge in Houston. So feel free to experiment with your base spirit.
From there, some like to keep those ratios equal, while others would rather go 2:1. Some add a dash of bitters. Some don’t. Just do whatever feels right.
This recipe is a good place to start on your path toward feeling right.
