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.

Asian pears have a crisp, fresh, fruity apple flavor that pairs well with the warmth of the ginger syrup. If you can't get Asian pears you can substitute a bosc pear or crisp apple.

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.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Make up the full recipe of ginger syrup because once you taste it you are going to want to use it in everything! The martini has a wonderful blend of flavors and isn't overly sweet. I really enjoyed this cocktail!
