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.

A very light flavored drink. Despite it's pretty pink color it's not an overly sweet drink. The cream does make it a bit filling but you probably shouldn't be drinking a lot of these anyway!
