Godmother

The Godmother is the vodka-based sibling of the Godfather, swapping Scotch for vodka while keeping the amaretto. Where the Godfather is smoky and complex, the Godmother is smoother and more approachable — the vodka lets the sweet, nutty character of the amaretto take center stage. Served over ice in an old-fashioned glass, it’s a two-ingredient cocktail that gained popularity alongside its Scotch-based counterpart in the late 1970s. Simple, elegant, and dangerously easy to drink.
