Godmother

1.5 oz vodka
.75 oz amaretto

Pour over ice into an old fashioned glass.

I like this drink more than I was expecting. Amaretto has always been too sweet and syrupy for me. By cutting it with a double-dose of vodka the sweetness and syrupyness mellow out and the natural nutty flavor comes through. Pretty good. Shannon says it tastes like cough syrup, but she could sip it more or less happily.

Handball Cooler

1.5 oz. Vodka
Club Soda
Orange Juice

Pour the vodka over ice into a highball glass. Fill almost to the top with club soda. Top with orange juice. Shannon really likes this drink. She pronounced it chuggable, in a good way. I thought it was ok. It tastes a little like orangina.
