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 are the best ginger cookies. I reduced the suger to 3/4 cup and put in 1/4 cup of honey and also added 1/2 cup chopped crystalized ginger pieces. Yumm!
