Godparents and Godchildren

For a while now the Godfather has been on my cocktail todo list.  When I went looking for the recipe though I found that there are actually a whole family of Catholic themed cocktails that are all extremely similar.  So, as a result, I’m going to offer up a four-fer this week and cover them all.  It’s going to be interesting to sample them all and be able to compare and contrast them.  In addition I don’t have much experience with Amaretto other than shitty Amaretto Sours made with sour mix.  So these should really help to broaden my horizons.

Godfather
2 oz Scotch
1 oz Amaretto
1) Shake and strain into an ice filled rocks glass

Sub vodka for the scotch and you get.

Godmother
2 oz Vodka
1 oz Amaretto

Add cream to the above and you get.

Godson
2 oz Scotch
1 oz Amaretto
1 oz Light Cream
Goddaughter
2 oz Vodka
1 oz Amaretto
1 oz Light Cream

    Replace the scotch in the Godfather with bourbon, like Jim Beam or some other good brand and you’ve got yourself a Grandpappy.

    I was thinking about that very thing today, wondering if there was an associated cocktail. I’ll definitely be giving that one a try. Thanks Rich.
