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.

With fresh, edible flower petals mixed right in, this sweet butter almost looks too pretty to eat.

1/2 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon almond, vanilla, lemon, or orange extract, optional
1/4 cup fresh edible flower petals, washed and dried
Place the butter, confectioners' sugar, and extract in a food processor. Process until well blended. Add the flowers and pulse-process just enough to distribute the flower petals. The butter should be speckled with flowers.
Scrape the butter from the food processor onto a piece of waxed paper. Roll the butter into a log shape inside the waxed paper. Place in the refrigerator until chilled. When ready to serve, slice the butter into thin rounds.
Alternately, you can place the butter in a shallow dish and serve that way (garnish the top with a fresh, whole flower if desired)
