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 recipe was good. I think it was missing something. Not sure what. My husband loved it for the asparagus. I liked it because it was simple. A little plain, but a nice base for something more... Thanks for the recipe!
