The Godmother cocktail originated in the US in the 1970s as a sweeter twist on the Godfather, swapping vodka for Scotch. Its name plays off the Godfather theme, pairing vodka with amaretto for a smooth, almond-flavored drink.
Flavor:
The Godmother cocktail has a smooth, mellow flavor with the warmth of vodka balanced by the sweet, nutty richness of amaretto. It finishes with a soft almond note and a slightly syrupy texture.
