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.

1 pint fresh blackberries, rinsed and dried
1/2 cup superfine sugar

In a small bowl, mash together the blackberries, sugar and vanilla. Let sit at room temperature until juicy, about 20 minutes.
Strain the mixture through a sieve into a bowl, pressing against the solids with a rubber spatula. Discard the seeds.
For each drink, place about 3 tablespoons of the blackberry syrup and 8 mint leaves into a cocktail glass and muddle together using the handle of a wooden spoon.

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.
