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.

For Frosting: Melt butter in saucepan. Add brown sugar and salt and boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add milk. Bring to a full boil again, and then remove from heat.
