The (Canadian) Godfather

The Godfather cocktail is usually made with scotch. However, I have found that in this modified version it is great with Forty Creek Whisky.

The (Canadian) Godfather

2 oz Forty Creek Barrel Select Whisky
3/4 oz Amaretto
ice
Lemon Garnish

Build on ice in a rocks glass
Twist a little lemon over the glass and stir
Garnish with a thin lemon slice

Note: You may vary the amount of Amaretto to suit your own taste. I have seen some constructions where the ratio of Amaretto to whisky is as high as 1:1. My version at a rough ratio of 1:3 makes for a less sweet cocktail which highlights the flavour of the Forty Creek Whisky.

Enjoy Responsibly!

    Great minds think alike. Here’s a different Canadian Godfather I created.
