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.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
reviews & comments
I found that there was some spice that would have improved the recipe -- I added cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice to good effect. I also found that the amount of bourbon was *way* too high. I got a contact high off of the fumes when mashing everything together. I'd recommend cutting the alcohol content in half, compensating with cream/milk if too thick.
