What is the bartender tip for a Godmother?
The vodka recedes and leaves the amaretto in the center — that's why 45 ml to 15 ml (3:1) doesn't turn into liqueur. Equal parts get too sweet; 2:1 (45/22) works if Disaronno is the pour. A large cube dilutes more slowly. Lemon twist, not orange: the catalog's Godfather uses orange peel on scotch; here the lemon cuts the almond. No cream: Godchild is a different drink.
