Happy Hour: The Godfather
Maybe you're watching a lot of basketball this weekend, and you'd rather enjoy a cocktail instead of drinking a bunch of macrobrews. Try the Godfather--it's simple enough to describe to a bartender who's never heard of it, yet remarkably complex:
2 parts scotch
1 part amaretto
Pour liquor into ice-filled rocks glass. Stir. Garnish with a cherry.
The amaretto helps to smooth out the harshness of the scotch, but the drink isn't overly sweet. However, be careful of its smoothness--this is still pure alcohol, so slamming too many of these is really not a good idea.
If you're not a scotch fanatic, you can replace the scotch with vodka, which makes the drink a Godmother.
Happy drinking!
