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.

over 5 hrs
ingredients
2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
1/3 cup bourbon
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
24 pecan halves, optional, for decorating
directions
Combine the vanilla wafers, bourbon, maple syrup, and half of the pecans in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth-ish, about 45 seconds.
Using a small scoop, or simply your fingers, shape thumb-sized pieces of the dough into balls about half as big as a golf ball (really, size is up to you).
Place the remaining finely chopped pecans in a plastic bag. Add the bourbon balls, one by one, gently pressing the chopped pecans into the sides until they adhere. Top each with a pecan half, if you like.
Transfer bourbon balls to a cookie tin and allow to mellow for 1 week or so.
