What is "vodka"?
Vodka is a clear, colorless, odorless alcoholic beverage made from fermented grains or potatoes. It is usually distilled multiple times to remove impurities and to give it a smooth flavor.

It is popular in many countries around the world, and is the base for a variety of cocktails, such as the Bloody Mary, the Martini, and the Moscow Mule. Vodka can also be infused with a variety of flavors, such as citrus, herbs, spices, and fruits, to create flavored vodkas.
