How to remember it

The Godfather is an Italian don with Scottish taste: amaretto from the old country, poured with Scotch. Every God drink shares the amaretto.

Compare with Godmother, Godchild

Drink family: Duo · Spirit + liqueur, nothing else

Swap the spirit or the liqueur and you have the next Duo. Add cream and it becomes a Trio.

Same shape on your sheets: Rusty Nail, Godmother, Godchild, Chocolate Martini

Memory tricks are written for this app; only the acronym is printed on the sheet. Drink families are Gary Regan's, from The Joy of Mixology.
