My New favorite vodka

[EagleEyes]

hey now....

Being only 21 ive experimented but not too much.  UV Blue was cheap and plentiful at the place i partied most when i was in high school; St. Cloud State University.  Mix it with lemonade and its a great drink for beer-pong.  Sorry guys, dont like beer, cant stand the taste, cant stand the smell, cant stand it period!  And now that im 21, i tried Grey Goose and love it....

Being said, ive only tried one other vodka, and that was Skyy and it was pretty good!

[DiabloTX]

oh yeah?

What worries you?

Alcohol + O'Club = PNG / new BBS = Parole

A vodka that's flavored with berries is far past worrying about its alcohol content.

........or those who chase vodka with a friggen cucumber. 

Chasing vodka with high water-content vegetables (like cucumbers, radishes or sweet peppers), or other select food items is actually a traditional way to consume it in the regions where it originated.

Far better than any liquid, using certain food is more effective at cleaning the palate and evacuating the fumes from the sinuses (especially if you use pickles). It also prevents one from drinking too much on an empty or nearly empty stomach and adds a social aspect to it that you simply won't get by slamming orange juice after every shot.

I've been bit by the Goose many times.......Especially on bus trips to football games.   
We make vodka wedges.....

[caddie]

My normal summer drink is a Vodka Wedge. Vodka, Polar bear and a splash of orange juice. If it before 9am I will hit the bloody marry with some extra spice to get my GERD really going. Used to be a huge Goose fan but have really started investing my time into Swedka, Really decent. Tried 3 olives but it had a greasy taste for me. Winter drink is vodak mixed Sierra Mist free (watching my waste line) or whatever is in the house, by the way getting vodka in the kids juice box is tough but I have a system down for anyone who needs it.

This is my favourite.

I've never liked Vodka as a drink before this. I've had it before but never actually like the taste. It was always a 'drink to get twittle'd up' spirit.

I bought a bottle of Zubrowka a while ago and I loved it.

I actually enjoy the same way I enjoy a nice scotch. Roll it over the tongue and savour the taste... all that jazz.

Truly a refreshing drink, very enjoyable on a cold evening.

I quite enjoy a glass of Zubrowka whilst working on skins for Aces High, actually.



Retails for roughly $38 AUD... Which is the same price as Smirnoff Blue (which is awful)... so it's a good buy.

By the time I reached 21, my best drinking days were behind me. Gotta love the British binge drinking culture.

Baaaaaaaaaaaahhh! If you`re going to drink vodka, drink vodka. If you are going to eat fruits and veggies go to the health food store.
If I were going to drink OJ I`d go to Brookshires.

I definitely appreciate your purist approach, Jackal.

This "green mark" vodka isn't my favorite, but it shows how it should be consumed. Listen to Neubob, he tells wise things.



This one is my current favorite, it has cedar-nuts in a bottle: http://www.cristall-lefortovo.ru/index.php?id=31

This one is just the cheapest good no-hangover vodka here: http://www.cristall-lefortovo.ru/index.php?id=38

First one is average 140 rubles per half-litre, second is 100 rubles. Current rate is 23 rubles per one US dollar.

I've never liked Vodka as a drink before this. I've had it before but never actually like the taste. It was always a 'drink to get messed up' spirit.

White zubrowka?! Well, it's a Polish vodka, so they probably know better. Here it's usually light-brown because of the herbs.

Does anyone like pepper vodka? Like Nemiroff Honey-Pepper, I know it's exported from Ukraine and can be found easily in the West.

IMHO only vodka made in Poland, Russia and Ukraine is worth drinking, everything else doesn't have vodka taste and is good only for mixing, but mixing vodka is a perversion.

As Neubob said - any "fruit-flavored" vodka is a fake, except maybe some lemon vodka made here in Russia. When I saw "strawberry" or "raspberry" Stolichnaya in the US I was really surprised: it wasn't made in Russia, the label lies.

Stolichnaya is a well-known brand, and it sometimes fools Western people here: I saw Finns buying Stoly that was obviously fake, while not even looking at excellent Sinopskaya or Mendeleev made by LIVIZ, SPb.

I'd love to try that. Too bad it's only in wisconsin though.

I never liked greygoose, drinking it always gave me the feeling I had cottonmouth.
