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.

Bruschetta is the way to go for easy appetizers. This Buca Di Beppo copycat is a keeper - tomatoes, onion, and fresh basil on top of garlic-toasted bread.

3 ounces garlic olive oil
directions
Preheat the oven broiler.
Combine the tomatoes, red onion, garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, and basil in a bowl and mix gently.
Slice the bread into 1/2-inch thick slices and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush one side of the sliced bread pieces with the garlic olive oil. Place the bread in the oven and broil just until lightly browned.
Remove the toasted bread pieces from the oven. Top each with some of the tomato mixture.

Just wanted to add that the bruschetta recipe above without fresh mozzarella or balsamic vinegar is the original recipe from when Buca di Beppo first opened. At that time it was a garlic olive oil used on the bread. It has changed a couple of times since then. The one above is definitely customizable to adding in the fresh mozzarella and/or balsamic drizzle and/or butter instead of oil to make it your own favorite version.

This recipe is pretty good but different from what I had a Bucca di Beppos. They put Balsamic Vinegar and fresh mozzarella cheese with the tomatoes. They also put butter on the bread instead of olive oil. I highly suggest adding the balsamic and butter.

Tried this one and everyone liked it. Great for a crowd and easy to make. A hit! :)
last time i was at buca's they had balsamic vinegar sprinkled on top. not sure if you just left that out because you dislike the flavor.....

This was delicious and easy to make. It made a little too much though. Next time I would cut the recipe in half.
