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 cake was amazing...everyone loved it and wanted seconds! I used Creme de menthe as stated and it was just the right amount of mint. I didn't add the cherries, but we definetely didn't miss them. Instead of chocolate flakes on the top we crumbled up some Thin Mints. I will definetely make this cake again.
