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.
Thanksgiving Ambrosia With Grapefruit, Orange, And Tangerine
- add review
- #30284
Looking for something a little different this Thanksgiving? Try this light citrus combination of grapefruit, orange, and tangerine in place of your usual fruit salad.

ingredients
2 grapefruit
3 oranges
2 tangerines
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup shredded coconut
directions
Peel and divide the fruits into sections. Place a layer of grapefruit, oranges, and tangerines in a serving dish. Toss gently to mix them up. Sprinkle the fruits with half of the sugar and half of the coconut. Place another layer of fruit on top of the sugar, sprinkling them randomly so the different fruits are evenly dispersed. Top with the remaining sugar and coconut.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour. Stir the ambrosia salad gently before serving.
nutrition data
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Wonderfully simple. I usually whip some cream and mix it in too.
