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.

I thought this was simple and delicious, the only thing I did differently was I also added a tsp. of ground ginger. I would recommend this recipe to everyone.
