Brooklyn Godfather
Described by some as being a Brooklyn but perhaps more a bourbon whisky-based Godfather with vermouth

I like this one very much. It was just a tiny bit too sweet for me, so I added 2 dashes of Angostura. Balances it out perfectly for me. I will try it with orange bitters next time though.

I didn't find it too sweet, but I tried as your suggestion first without then with 2 dashes of Angostura orange bitters. As I am a huge fan of the "original" Brooklyn with Picon Amer and its orange notes, the addition of the orange bitters ever so slightly elevated the drink for me.

Absolutely spot on, don’t know if I would add this to my “tried and liked” list without the orange bitters.
