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.

under 30 minutes
ingredients
2 ounces gin
4 large oregano leaves
2 thin slices cucumber
2 teaspoons dry vermouth
directions
Using a muddling spoon as opposed to a stick muddle the oregano and cucumber. Not to a mash, just enough to release the flavors.
Add ice and vermouth, (i have tried rinsing the ice with the vermouth, but as with any martini, depends how you like it, i find 2 tsp works well)
Shake well and double strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a thin slice of cucumber. This can be enjoyed on its own but i prefer it with nice dish of chilled prawn salad with a light Asian sauce.
