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.

tried this for first time. Substituted mango jam and some dried apricots. Only used 1/8c of honey. Also added good chardonnay at the last ten minutes. We both enjoyed this and the chicken was moist, citrus-sy and slightly sweet.
