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.

Cheers! Vodka, frangelico, and creme de cacao make up this decadent but not overly sweet chocolate martini.

2/3 ounce vodka
2/3 ounce Frangelico
2/3 ounce creme de cacao (or other chocolate liqueur)
ice
shaved chocolate
Combine the vodka, Frangelico, and chocolate liqueur in a shaker with ice.
Shake well to blend. Strain into a martini glass.
Garnish with shaved chocolate if desired.
Serve immediately.

I don't normally like sweet drinks but this one had the right balance of sweet and boozy flavors. It was chocolatey and rich but still had the feel of a cocktail.
