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.

Easy like you said, very tasty. Thought your portion size was big, I made half a recipe (2 of us) and had enough leftover for another meal, which is good because we loved it.
