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.
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.

Very good Thai flavor I thought. I wasn't sure I'd like the cucumber with it but it complemented it nicely. I think some kind of cucumber sauce would also work good with the meatballs as a dipping sauce.

A delicious appetizer with a nice Thai kick to it. The presentation with the cucumber is perfect. Very easy to make too!
