How to make the 10,000 Timberlakes Cocktail

The recipe of the 10,000 Timberlakes cocktail is from Brian Heese (Monarch Prime & Bar) and he said about the story of the cocktail: “My inspiration for this cocktail was due to the Super Bowl 2018 coming to the state of Minnesota (the Land of 10,000 lakes) along with the return of Justin Timberlake to the halftime show. Super Bowl parties are often a time for groups to indulge in all types of homemade party fare. Often, hot wings or spicy dishes are what complements the evening of staring at the TV for hours. This cocktail is light and refreshing to complement the food d’ jour while giving you a nice elevated drink to enjoy with your friends.”

INGREDIENTS

  • 45 ml / 1 ½ oz. Tequila Reposado
  • 30 ml / 1 oz. Chartreuse Yellow
  • 20 ml / ¾ oz. honey sirup
  • 20 ml / ¾ oz. freshly squeezed lime juice

Godfather Cocktail Recipe

1 Comment
Godfather Cocktail

The Godfather cocktail is a 1970s-era drink, named for the popular film “The Godfather” and it is often made with equal parts of Whiskey and Amaretto, but my version dials down the sweetness. And I take instead of Scotch whiskey a smoky Whisky from Ireland, because it tastes better in my opinion.

INGREDIENTS

  • 60 ml/ 2 oz. Whiskey
  • 20 ml/ ¾ oz. Amaretto

METHOD

  1. Fill a mixing glass ⅔ full off ice.
  2. Add the ingredients and stir until chilled.
  3. Strain into an ice-filled rocks glas.

NOTES

My version of the Godfather uses a 3-to-1 ratio of whiskey to amaretto. This will produce a sweet drink, but not as sweet as the 1-to-1 ratio suggested by amaretto producer Disarrono. Certainly, they prefer that you use lots of their liqueur. The company even used to claim that their version was Marlon Brando’s favorite cocktail.
