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 is almost exactly like a recipe my godmother used to make when we were younger. I'm not sure what she did different but there was a spice or something extra that she added because the flavor was just a little different. I will make this again to see if I can get closer to what I remember. It's quite good as written though so if you like sauerkraut and kielbasa I recommend it.
