The Godfather & The Godmother - Two sophisticated & Delicious Cocktails

The Godfather and the Godmother - Two elegant and sophisticated cocktails that will become your new favorites! There is something refined and very James Bond like about these two cocktails. They are rich, smooth, lightly sweet and oh so drinkable :) The next time you are looking to entertain or simply sit and relax with an elegant drink, these are for you!

The ratios below I find to be very pleasant and balanced. You can adjust the amaretto to the level of sweetness that you like though. There are recipes our there that call for equal parts of whisky and amaretto but in my opinion that is far too sweet. Try this ratio first and then add more amaretto if you would like the sweetness kicked up a bit.
