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.

Strawtini, anybody? This cocktail is as elegant as it is simple. Muddled strawberries with vodka and simple syrup combine for a martini that'll have you going back for seconds. And thirds.

2 ounces vodka
1/2 ounce Fraises de Bois liqueur (optional)
1 dash simple syrup
3 fresh strawberries
1 fresh strawberry for garnish
Crush fresh strawberries in a shaker, using a muddler or the flat end of a bar spoon. Add ice, vodka, Fraises de Bois, and syrup to taste.
Shake the mixture sharply and strain into a frosted martini glass. Garnish with a fresh strawberry.
