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.

Place the raisins and 2/3 cup of the water in a saucepan and heat over medium heat for 5 minutes.

Add the vinegar and butter and heat until the butter is melted. Cool until just warm.
