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 peanut butter mousse is fluffy and delicious without being overly sweet. We served it as shown above in the photo but also used just the mousse portion as a filling in another dessert. It was a huge hit (served both ways). Loved the presentation in the individual spoons!
