LinkedIn Pinpoint

When I first cracked open LinkedIn Pinpoint #589, I saw the first clue: Vodka. My mind went racing. I instantly thought about drinks, but then I realized, hey, this is a food puzzle! So, I needed to think about pasta.
Next up was Carbonara. I love Carbonara, but I was stuck on whether it had anything to do with the first clue. I tossed around the idea of Italian dishes but wasn't quite hitting the mark yet.
