nutrition data
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
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.

We served this punch both with and without vodka at an open house. We also had wine, soft drinks, water, and coffee available. This punch was by far the most popular; everyone loved it. The only problem I had was finding frozen grapefruit juice concentrate. After checking several stores, including a specialty store, I gave up and bought bottled grapefruit juice made from concentrate. I then altered the recipe by reducing the amount of club soda proportionately. It was the hit of the party and a recipe I will use again!
