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.
Absolut Summertime Cocktail
- add review
- #52575
This is the ultimate summertime cocktail! It's got a hefty shot of vodka mixed with refreshing citrus flavors. It's a drink best served well chilled. You can make a large batch of it ahead of time, just omit the lemon-lime soda and store it in the refrigerator. Before serving, add the soda (make sure it's well chilled) and serve over ice in individual glasses.
