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.


2 cups chopped pecans, toasted
1 box (12 ounce size) vanilla wafers, finely crushed
2 cups powdered sugar, plus extra
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/3 cup whiskey
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Blend well with hands to form and roll into 1 inch balls. Roll balls in powdered sugar. Store airtight.
NOTE: Use any kind of nuts if you don't like pecans. I also sometimes add a bit of chopped maraschino cherries, some finely chopped sweet coconut etc for variations.
