This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

ingredients
4 1/2 pounds lamb shoulder
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 bag (10 ounce size) fresh spinach, chopped
5 cups hot cooked orzo
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
oregano sprigs (optional)
lemon slices (optional)
directions
Trim fat from lamb. Place lamb in an electric slow cooker, and sprinkle with oregano, rind, and half of the salt.
Pour in lemon juice; top lamb with spinach. Cover with lid; cook on high heat for 1 hour. Reduce heat setting to low; cook 7 hours.
Remove spinach and lamb from slow cooker, reserving cooking liquid; cool. Remove meat from bones; discard bones, fat, and gristle. Chop meat.
Place a zip-top plastic bag inside a 2-cup glass measure. Pour drippings into bag, and let stand 10 minutes (fat will rise to the top). Seal bag; carefully snip off 1 bottom corner of bag. Drain drippings into a large bowl, stopping before fat layer reaches opening; discard fat.
Add remaining salt, lamb, spinach, orzo, and feta to strained drippings. Garnish with oregano sprigs and lemon slices, if desired.

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.
