What is Godmother?

The Godmother is an intense yet sweet cocktail made with vodka and amaretto, with an ABV of approximately 33%.

A sister cocktail to the Scotch whisky-based "Godfather," it harmonizes vodka's clean character with amaretto's almond notes.

Made with just two simple ingredients, its sophisticated taste and strong alcohol content make it perfect as a digestif or nightcap.

Godmother ABV

The Godmother has an ABV of approximately 33%, making it one of the stronger cocktails.

Vodka (40%) at 45ml combined with amaretto (28%) at 15ml, plus slight dilution from the build method, creates roughly 33% alcohol content.

It's slightly higher than a French Connection (30%) and approaching straight whisky (40%). While amaretto's sweetness softens vodka's alcohol presence, it remains a strong cocktail.

Godmother History

The Godmother is a variation of the "Godfather" cocktail, born alongside the popularity of the 1970s film series "The Godfather."

The original Godfather combines Scotch whisky and amaretto, while the version using vodka instead was named "Godmother." Named to match the film's mafia family concept as "Godfather" and "Godmother."

The series also includes "Godchild" with added cream. The Godmother offers a smoother, cleaner taste than the Godfather and remains a steadily beloved classic among vodka enthusiasts.
