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.

The lemon/lime juice didn't seem really necessary, but the toasted sesame seeds are a must. Delicious and easy. It did, however, take longer than 12 minutes for our asparagus to become tender. We baked it for more like 20 minutes.
