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 should have read how long this recipe would take before I started, but the end result was worth it. The pumpkin dip was fabulous, keeping that recipe handy.
