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.

Tropical flavors come together in this fresh fruit drink made with papaya, bananas, and pineapple. Add some club soda for a fizzy drink.

2 ripe bananas
1/2 medium ripe pineapple
3 cups cold water

Scrape out the seeds from the papaye. Slice the flesh away from the skin. Cut the flesh into cubes and place in a blender.
Peel and slice the bananas, placing the banana slices in the blender.
Remove the core from the pineapple and cut away the rind. Cut the pineapple into cubes and place in the blender.
Add the water to the blender. Cover the blender and puree the fruit until smooth.
