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.

ingredients
8 ounces almond paste
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
3 drops food coloring
1 tablespoon egg white
directions
In a bowl, combine almond paste, confectioners' sugar, food coloring and egg white until the mixture is smooth. Form it into a ball, sprinkle it lightly with sifted confectioners' sugar, and wrap it in wax paper. Chill the marzipan for 1 hour.
Sprinkle a 16-inch piece of wax paper with sifted confectioners' sugar and put the marzipan ball on it. Top the ball with another piece of wax paper and roll it out into a 15-inch circle.
Remove the top piece of wax paper. Lay the marzipan, paper side up, on the cake and peel off the paper. Press the marzipan against the sides of the cake and trim off any excess around the bottom.
Dust the top of the torte with sifted confectioners' sugar.
