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.

If you're making refreshing lemonade anyway, why not just go full tropical with pineapple? Whether you're just kicking back and relaxing with a glass or looking to give your kids' lemonade stand sales a boost, this drink is the right choice.

1 pint water
1 cup sugar
1 can (8 ounce size) crushed pineapple
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 quart ice water
Combine the water and sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and let cook at a boil for 10 minutes or until syrupy.
Stir in the pineapple and lemon juice and let cool.
Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth lined sieve into a pitcher. Add the ice water and serve.
