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.

We liked this recipe because it was a nice change from the chickpea versions. You can tweak the garlic and cumin amounts to taste, but as written we liked it. Let it chill for 1 hour at least before serving, for the flavors to really develop. We used organic canned black beans, but we might try this again with black soy beans. Black soy beans are a little bit healthier, but tend to be more firm so it might result in a chunkier consistency. We'll report back if we do try the alternate.
