Head to head
Godfather and Revolver side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
They have no ingredient in common: the Godfather has Blended Scotch and amaretto, the Revolver bourbon, coffee liqueur and orange bitters. In parts, a Godfather is 3 Scotch and 1 amaretto; a Revolver is 4 whiskey and 1 coffee liqueur. By volume, the Godfather is 75% spirit and 25% liqueur; the Revolver is 80% spirit and 20% liqueur. Different bottles, similar balance: that makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
The Revolver is the stronger drink in the glass (26.0% ABV against 24.4%), but being smaller it holds about the same alcohol (1.67 and 1.73 standard drinks). Calories and sugar are close: about 187 and 196 calories, 6.0 g and 6.8 g of sugar. Both are stirred; the Godfather is served in a rocks glass, the Revolver in a coupe.
