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.

A delicious twist on the popular summer cocktail. This version includes watermelon puree which gives it a light, slightly sweet flavor.

20 mint leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons superfine sugar
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
crushed ice
3/4 cup light rum
6 ounces seedless watermelon, pureed
In the bottom of a large shaker, muddle the mint, sugar and half the lime juice. Fill the shaker with ice. Add the rum, watermelon and the remaining lime juice. Shake well.
Strain the mojitos into old fashioned glasses over ice and serve.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Make sure to use flavorful watermelon. I made this twice since the first time the watermelon just wasn't all that tasty. The second watermelon was much better and made for a wonderful drink. Great for summertime pool parties or sitting on the patio enjoying a sunset.
