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.

These brownies turned out delicious. And the pineapple was a real flavor enhancer that also helped to keep the brownies moist. I would recommend giving them a try.
