Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
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.
