Godmother
The vodka-based sibling of the Godfather. Smooth vodka lets the almond sweetness of amaretto take center stage, creating a deceptively easy-drinking cocktail with a velvety finish.
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz Vodka
- 0.8 oz Amaretto
- orange slice (garnish) garnish
Pairs With
Pair with Italian almond biscotti or panna cotta for a refined after-dinner experience. The smooth vodka allows amaretto's delicate almond character to shine alongside creamy or subtly sweet desserts.
Instructions
Fill a rocks glass with ice
Pour vodka and amaretto over the ice
Stir gently for 15 seconds to combine and chill
Garnish with an orange slice on the rim
Tips
A clean, neutral vodka works best here to let the amaretto flavor shine through For a more complex version, try using a vanilla-infused or wheat-based vodka Serve very cold — this drink benefits from thorough chilling and slow dilution from a large ice cube
