Remixed "Godmother" Cocktail Recipe

So I created a cocktail based off of a recipe called "Godmother". This recipe calls for 2 oz. vodka and 1oz. amaretto. I did something a little different. I wanted to take a flavored vodka and try it out. Van Gogh has numerous yummy flavors, but my favorite has to be Dutch Caramel Vodka. It's just the right taste and smooth. I mixed it with Sence a great rose nectar juice. The flavors together give a unique taste, not too sweet. Then I added Amaretto, not too much just enough to give it just the right extra flavor.

2 oz. Van Gogh Dutch Caramel Vodka

1 oz. Sence ( European Rose Nectar )

.5 oz  Lazzaroni Amaretto

Mix the ingredients. Add Ice To Shaker. Shake ingredients with ice for 1.5 minutes. Serve
