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 cheesecake is amazing! I made if for my husband for his birthday, and everyone loved it. A few people commented that it tasted like something you would eat in a restaurant. The sauce is especially good, but I used a whole can of cherries in syrup, otherwise there just isn't enough sauce.
