Caucasian Godfather
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.83 / 5
The Caucasian Godfather is a creamy and indulgent cocktail that combines the rich, oaky notes of whiskey with the sweet, almond-like flavor of amaretto and the deep, roasted taste of coffee liqueur. This blend is smoothed out with the addition of milk, resulting in a comforting beverage. Typically served in a lowball glass, it offers a harmonious mix of flavors that makes it a unique variant of the classic Godfather cocktail, with an added twist of coffee to suit those who enjoy a touch of caffeine with their spirits. The name suggests a playful riff on classic film and cocktail culture, marrying the familiar with an unconventional creamy twist.
