THE GODMOTHER
1 ½ measure amaretto
1 ½ measure vodka
I am Godmother to
but one — my lovely niece Hannah. Today she is 18 and I am so proud of the beautiful,
kind young woman she has become. I wish I could wave my magic wand like the
Godmother in Cinderella and, with the help of some cute mice, make all her
wishes come true.
Can’t do that, but
I can drink a GODMOTHER cocktail in her honor, if not with her (yet.) Making
the GODMOTHER was incredibly easy. I just put equal parts vodka and amaretto
into a bowl-shaped cocktail glass that I had filled with plenty of crushed ice.
No garnish was needed, nor wanted.
Any
cocktail made with zero mixes and all liquor is going to be strong, but the
GODMOTHER really blew me away. It was both powerfully strong and powerfully
sweet. The almond-flavored amaretto liquor was enhanced by the vodka, but the
cocktail was still pretty syrupy. As the ice melted and I continued to sip, I
started to develop a taste for the GODMOTHER though. It almost became ‘an offer
I couldn’t refuse.’
Drink Up^
