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.

Made this recipe yesterday. I used 8 cups of bing cherries, 1/2c amaretto, and used 1/4 tsp of cloves instead of 1/2tsp. Followed everything else in the recipe. The clove taste was good and 1/2tsp would have ruined it for my tastes. Tasted great on fresh biscuits this morning. This recipe is a keeper :)

This was really delicious. I swapped the almond liqueur for 1 teaspoon almond extract and added 1 teaspoon of butter to reduce foaming. Instead of chopping them, I halved the cherries and mashed them around as I stirred. Great texture, flavor, color, everything!
