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.
Copycat Applebee's Lemonade

If you thought lemonade was just lemons, water, and sugar then you are missing out. A little sparkling water is the Applebee's trick for an especially good glass.

An interesting variation is to puree some fruit (raspberries, strawberries, etc) with a little superfine or powdered sugar and put that in the glass before adding the the lemonade and water.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

Great recipe. I used half a cup of sugar and it was just fine. 50% lemon+sugar+water mix, 50% seltzer water in place of sparkling water. Delicious.

I don't know if this is like Applebee's or not but it's good lemonade. I did the variation with adding some raspberry puree to it and that was quite good. You can adjust either the sugar or lemon juice, of course.
