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.

It takes a strong character of will to decide that pecan pie can be improved upon, but we need heroes like that in this world. Without them, we'd never have this groundbreaking brownie pecan pie in our lives.
