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.

1 can (6.5 ounce size) chopped minced clams
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon dehydrated minced onions

Instead of Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce, substitute a 1->1.5 tsp of finely ground horseradish. MUCH better.

It was surprising how much of the Worcestershire sauce you could taste since it only called for one teaspoon. I guess I would go for half as much next time and maybe a little more of the hot sauce. But it was pretty good and got eaten up at our little game night get-together.

I found the flavor of the Worcestershire sauce to be a bit pronounced when I tasted the dip with a spoon but oddly when putting the dip on crackers it tasted more balanced. The consistency of the dip was good but if you use a reduced-fat or fat-free sour cream it might be more watery depending on the brand you use.
