Vodka

Used in 3 recipes on RecipeWiki.

Vodka is a clear, neutral spirit, distilled from grain or potatoes and filtered for smoothness. It has a clean, slightly peppery taste. Its neutrality is what makes it useful: in an Espresso Martini it adds strength without competing with the coffee, and in a Blue Hawaii it lets the blue curaçao and pineapple lead. It also has a place in the kitchen. In Ukha, the Russian fish soup, a splash is stirred into the finished pot, adding a sharp edge to the broth. Keep a bottle in the freezer for very cold cocktails. It will not freeze solid at normal freezer temperatures.

Clear freshwater fish broth, never thickened and barely seasoned, so what you taste is the fish and the water it cooked in.
