The ex wife
I was looking at the godfather drink and started experimenting with it, adding a bunch of different ingredients to create a drink with sweetness, bitterness...

I used this as inspiration for a way to use Blackberry Crown Royal I received (a gift). I used 1 3/4 oz Blackberry Crown / 1/4 oz OJ and 2 dashes Ango - tasted weirdly of basil?!?! Realized I forgot the amaretto - added it and was reminded of how potent amaretto can be - was sweet, lots of the "almond" flavor, and no basil. I will come back someday to try the recipe as written, and write a fair review of the recipe.

So I made it properly - much better to adhere to the recipe than my experiment with the Blackberry Crown. A great name, but I'm not sure appropriate given how sweet (and pleasantly spicey) this is (not thimgs I associate with my "ex"...) The sweetness and flavors of the amaretto and creme de mure dominate, with the bourbon contributing some boozy punch and spiciness to go with the Ango bitters (I'm not sure where the OJ is playing). A lot going on in the glass. Thanks for sharing the idea!
