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 recipe from Em's Restaurant in Salt Lake City is made with sweet potatoes, onion, vegetable stock, honey, and canned chipotle chile en adobo.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
4 cups vegetable stock
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon chipotle chile in adobo sauce or more to taste, minced*
salt, to taste

creme fraiche or sour cream, for garnish
In a saucepan, heat the oil and onion over medium heat until onion is translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Add sweet potatoes and stock.

Remove from the heat. Stir in honey, chipotle chilies and salt and pepper to taste. Puree in a blender.

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