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.

What better way to dress up a simple cheesecake than with a cinnamon-spiced graham cracker crust?
Crust
1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup margarine, melted
Filling
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grand marnier
Sour Cream Topping
2 cups sour cream
6 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grand marnier
Crust: Place crumbs in mixing bowl and add sugar and cinnamon, then stir in margarine.
Grease an 8" springform pan on bottom and sides. Sprinkle thin layer of crumbs on bottom of pan and press down with metal 1/4 cup measure. Pat crumbs on sides and press into position with side of measuring cup. Work around sides with fingers to make crumbs of even height. Any remaining crumbs may be added to bottom crust. Bake crust at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes.
Filling: Beat eggs until light, then add sugar and beat for 5 minutes. Add cream cheese and vanilla and Grand Marnier; mix well. Turn into crumb crust; bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes.
Topping: Blend sour cream, sugar, vanilla, and Grand Marnier well, then pour over filling.
Bake at 475 degrees F for 5 minutes. Cool cake, then chill overnight before serving.

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.
