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.
