Godmother

The Godmother is the smooth, vodka-based member of the classic "Godfather" family of cocktails. It's a simple and elegant two-ingredient drink that combines the neutral spirit of vodka with the sweet, nutty flavor of Amaretto.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Vodka
  • ½ oz Amaretto Liqueur

Instructions

  1. Fill and Pour: Fill a rocks glass with ice. Pour in the vodka and Amaretto.
  2. Stir and Serve: Stir gently to combine and chill the spirits. The drink is traditionally served without a garnish.

Pro Tips for Perfection

A Simple Sipper: The beauty of the Godmother lies in its simplicity. The vodka provides a clean, neutral base that allows the sweet and almond-forward notes of the Amaretto to be the star of the show.

The "God" Family: This cocktail is part of a famous trio. The Godfather uses Scotch whisky, the Godmother uses vodka, and the French Connection uses Cognac. Each one offers a different take on the classic spirit-plus-Amaretto pairing.
