What is the bartender tip for a Godfather?
Equal parts (45/45) is the classic and comes out sweet; Disaronno suggests 50 ml whisky to 25 ml amaretto. Here 45/25 balances it without becoming a liqueur. Blended Scotch is the base; bourbon works, but it changes the drink. A large cube dilutes more slowly. No lime and no egg white: this is a stirred duo, not an amaretto sour.
