This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

ingredients
2 pounds cucumbers
2 medium red onions
2 tablespoons fresh basil (optional)
garlic powder (to taste)
red wine or white wine vinegar (to taste)
water (to taste)
1 cup chopped tomato (optional)
directions
Thin-slice the cucumbers and onions and put them in a container. Rip or chop the basil and toss it in. Pour in vinegar and water. I use less vinegar than water, but you want the vinegar a little strong so it will get into the cucumber. Sprinkle in some garlic, maybe 1/2 teaspoon?
Let this marinate for at least 2 hours. It keeps well in the refrigerator for days. Add the tomatoes at the last minute.

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.

I really enjoyed the combination of the basil and the other ingredients. I just drizzled some white wine vinegar over it and then added enough water so it would have enough liquid to marinate. I also drained off the liquid before adding the tomatoes and serving. I also added salt after draining it.
This did not turn out well for me. I think there is something missing in the ingredients. Also, it would have been helpful if the vinegar and water would have been specified. I had no idea where to start.
