Favorite Vodka

I pretty much only use vodka in mixed drinks, Skyy is fine for me.

Russian Standard is inexpensive and decent to try

Luksusova is a good yet shockingly inexpensive vodka. However, it is a potato vodka not grain, which I prefer, but it seems that many do not, so you just have to try it and see if you like it.

I second this motion. Very good potato vodka at an even better price.

I was in school in 1990 when the Berlin Wall came down and travel became possible. A couple of friends were schooling for a semester at the school's Luxembourg branch. Well, they travelled allright and eventually came home with some of the original Stoli. Really cold winter night, like 10 F, we put a bottle out on the windowsill to chill. It was thick, cold, and tasty. We thought that was pretty cool. Cold War vodka.

Effen for shots, sipping, and finer mixed drinks. I tried various brands and found the wheat based vodkas like Effen were the smoothest for me.

There is a vodka from Michigan called Grand Traverse that is smooth. Don't get up there anymore.

When mixing in orange juice, 7-Up, Gatorade, lemon-aid....for golfing, at the beach. or partying, then for the money, you can't beat Burnette's. Cheap but still smooth as it's multi-filtered, plus comes in a unbreakable plastic bottle. Oh yea!

Currently have bottles of Absolut and Stolichnaya Elit on hand @ the moment.

Others on my "approved" list: (iow ~ my want/need to buy list)
Absolute Elix.
Stolichnaya Gold.
Russian Standard / Russian Standard Platinum.
Beluga Classic / Beluga Gold.
Jewel Of Russia / Jewel Of Russia Ultra.

This reminds me that I need to "bulk-up" my vodka bottles someday soon.
I say that as I'm not as well stocked with this spirit as I am with most the others.

I also need more Gin & Scotch too,but I'm not as familiar with those two as most others.
So it'll take some in-depth taste testing to zero in on any favorites with those spirits.

Have a couple of close friends that are serious vodka drinkers.
So I've had the chance to try LOTS of them in days gone by.
Certainly enough to know what I like and dont like.

Kirkland Signature. It's good and very reasonable. I won't get into the Grey Goose debate but who cares. I don't take vodka neat so for a mix or on the rocks, it's very good.
