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 eat a lot of salmon so I'm always looking for new ways to change up the flavors. The cranberry pistachio sauce was absolutely phenomenal and really easy to prepare (seriously, you could use this same sauce at Thanksgiving and your guests will rave about it). I loved the presentation of the salmon with the cranberry colored sauce topped with crushed green pistachios. Gorgeous and delicious.
