For best results, ensure all ingredients are thoroughly chilled. Place the butter, shortening, vodka, and water in the freezer for 30 minutes before starting. If you prefer a sweeter crust, add 1-2 tablespoons of granulated sugar to the flour mixture. Don't overwork the dough; overmixing will develop the gluten and result in a tough crust. If the dough becomes too warm while rolling, return it to the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
