The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

This is sooo easy to make. Make sure your pineapple is very dry or it won't set up firm. If you want a sweeter dip, add 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar. You don't have to use frozen coconut, just make sure it's fresh. I only used 2tsp. of ginger and it is ok. It's really a big hit when served in a real pineapple. Use an electric knife to trim out a hole. Don't scrape too close to the edge. Coat with lemon juice to keep the color bright.
