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.

There is nothing really wrong with this recipe--it's just bland. However, when I was re-heating leftovers, I found a way to make it taste better. I heated it up until all the liquid had evaporated and the tomato paste had caramelized. It had a lot more flavor that way.
