"Mmm! This is pretty good."
"Glad you like it!"

"Spaghetti with vodka sauce."
"What's a vodka?"
"It's ... a grown-up drink. You've seen Nana drink wine and Uncle Jared drink beer, right?"
"Yeah."
"It's like that. Only ... more so."

But if you cook with it, all the alcohol goes away, and you just get the flavor of the drink in your food. And sometimes it's pretty good."
