Vodka
What's your favorite brand of vodka, and how do you drink it?
I'm drinking Grey Goose with ginger ale right now. |
Re: Vodka
in my price range, fris on the rocks

Re: Vodka
Um...Mostly Ketel One nowadays. Various ways...from shots to white russians to with vanilla coke...
Vodka tonics are swell too. EDIT: Although all my friends would probably call me a bigshot vodka drinker, I really don't have enough experience with it to really know the differences. Also, I can't really taste most of the subtle differences. I understand how Grey Goose is ultra-smooth but not very appealing otherwise...That's about it.. |

Re: Vodka
Belvedere.
Straight up, with a splash of cran, on the rocks or with tonic are all good. |
Re: Vodka
Grey Goose + Red Bull = Quite the buzz.
|
Re: Vodka
Prestine vodkas - Belvedere & Chopan (its a tie)
Vodkas with a "bite" - Stoli & Rain (I prefer them in my neat martinis) Average outing - Grey Goose TT |
Re: Vodka
Stolichnaya Elit

Re: Vodka
Vox, Mor, and Hangar One are good premium choices. Hangar One is the best choice for flavored vodka, but Charbay makes a couple good ones as well. Fris is your best bet for anything cheaper (I just got a 1.75L for $20) - I think it's significantly better than Absolut/Skyy/Ketel and at about half the price. Rain is also a good value. If you've tried all these, maybe Ciroc or Crater Lake.
I'm drinking a Gibson (vodka martini, cocktail onions instead of olives) w/Fris right now and it's pretty good, but most of my vodka I drink neat and chilled. |
Re: Vodka
I really didn't enjoy Ciroc, when I tried it. I'm not a hardcore vodka drinker, but its easily one of my favorite liquors, and Ciroc just tasted wrong... its been awhile, but that was the main feeling I remember from trying it. Bleh. Definitely not on par with the other vodkas in the same price range.
I enjoy Belvedere, Fris is great for the price. I drink vodka martinis, vodka & soda. the girl drinks cosmos, vodka & tonic. Shrug, ymmv. |
Re: Vodka
Belvedere.

Re: Vodka
mmmmm Aristocrat!
Shot Aristo + Quick chase (Mtn Dew, Gatorade, etc.) = quickie drunk. I know it's foul, but you just can't beat $10 a handle in college. |
Re: Vodka
RB,
wyborowa, rocks. |
Re: Vodka
Grey Goose with organic cranberry and lime juice.
|
Re: Vodka
Whatever is cheap (Smirnoff?), since I only drink mixed drinks with vodka when I'm already tipsy enough not to really care.

Re: Vodka
When I feel like good vodka, Chopin.
Everyday and at home vodka, Ketel. Usually with a splash of tonic. GoT |
Re: Vodka
addendum: i have compared fris, stoli, and belvedere neat, and could really notice no difference among the three. if anything, fris is smoother than stolichnaya. several recent articles have stated that differences among vodkas (with a certain baseline) are trivial at best.
|
Re: Vodka
Vladi's or Jacquin's.
|
Re: Vodka
Here's the lamest response yet:
Any kind of Vodka with OJ or in a good, spicy Bloody Mary. |

[/ QUOTE ] I probably couldn't tell you the difference between those three either (imo Belvedere is at worst very mediocre and at best hugely overpriced for comparable quality). But I would definitely be able to tell the difference between any of those and Ketel and it's not close. GoT |
Re: Vodka
Grey Goose or Three Olives on the rocks.
Stolichnaya if I must. Those of you mixing vodka I encourage you to graduate to a true appreciation. |
Re: Vodka
The last time I bought vodka it was a handle of Crystal Palace. At $10/1.75L you can't get a cheaper drunk.

Re: Vodka
I actually prefer Stoli Gold over Grey Goose. Plus you can get twice as much for the same price.
|
Re: Vodka
Stoli Gold is fantastic.
|
Re: Vodka
i used to despise all forms of alcohol. tasted like crap. hated vodka too. every time i had drank it, it had been warm. i had a bottle of absolut, but i couldn't chill it because i live with my parents. so i had the vodka with ice. i couldn't taste it at all! or maybe it was because i had 5 shots at that point and i am a light-weighted pussy but it happened another time too so draw your own conclusions.

Re: Vodka
i'll cast another vote for Belvedere

Dubra.

Re: Vodka
"and it's not close" does beg a prop bet

Re: Vodka

[/ QUOTE ] The conclusion is, if you refrigerate vodka, it loses its bite, and Absolut tastes like [censored] either way. |
Re: Vodka
Skol (or Walgreen's generic) straight up...thank you
|
Re: Vodka
Vladdy. Mixed with whatever is avaliable.
IMO, vodka tastes like [censored], so I might as well get it as cheap as possible. |
