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.

Don't have a bottle of verjus on hand? This marvelous margarita is the perfect excuse to get one. The unique tart flavor adds an element to the marg you didn't know you were missing, and you'll find various uses for the elixir in the rest of your cooking and mixology.
1 ounce Wolffer Verjus
1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
2 ounces tequila
1 splash sour mix
1 splash Cointreau liqueur
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the Wolffer Verjus, lime juice, tequila, sour mix, and cointreau. Shake to combine and chill, then strain the cocktail into a margarita glass. If desired, rim the glass with salt before pouring the cocktail in.
