Vodka????

No хлебное вино (bread wine) drinkers here? I was raised on it.

My favorites (read: staples) are Kettle One and Tito's. Ice-cold, neat. On rare occasions I'll find a bottle of Kauffman's and splurge (distilled 14 times!).

Grey Goose has been my fave for a long time. Love the slight mineral-water undertones in it.

I'll order Stolichnaya on occasion just because I like to say it.

I agree that it should be very cold. At home, I use these: http://www.iceshots.com/

Check out the experiment on this blog: http://www.ohmygoditburns.com/. They were able to create a very drinkable vodka without the premium price.

My favorite vodka to drink with a splash of juice is Hangar One.

I love Three Olives for its price and the good mood it seems to always put me in.

i'm partial to chopin vodka. it's a polish potato vodka and it's pretty damn good. when i'm in the mood for a flavored vodka, i lean towards either vanilla stolichnaya or van gogh's dutch chocolate.

Kettle One awesome

Tito's terrific

Hangar 1 Great

These are over distilled vodkas , hence very clean and pure.
Vox , not bad!!
Lukosovwa Potato vodka !!

I am partial to the potato vodkas.

I drink mostly wine, beer less so, vodka is the only hard liquor I can enjoy, perhaps because it is so clean. The good ones offer less hangover( hey a speaker term) but too much of a good thing is always too much

but fun while your'e at it.

Mariusz gave me a Polish Voska at my rave, it had a strip of wood in it, one of the best vodkas I ever had, warm, in a plastic cup, it was deliscious!!

My favorites:

Tito's--good everyday sipping Vodka, straight up, ice cold. Got hooked on this while in Texas.
Chopin--clean and refreshing, straight up, ice cold. Mmm, polish potatoes!
Glacier--crazy good and cheap, straight from the freezer...oh so good. Made in Idaho from Idaho potatoes.

Peace,

Lee

I can't stand vodka. To me, drinks made with vodka taste like cough syrup. That said, I used to like white russians on occassion and I thought my friend's favorite, Stoli vanilla and sprite, was ok.

Josh, cough syrup? no no no , vodka is very clean it just adds a little bite to what you mix it with.
Really good vodka with say seltzer and a little lime or lemon is so clean and refreshing.
Of course a bunch of them will get you hammered.
If I had to choose one liquor to have on a desert island it would be vodka.
Of course being a desert island they probably wouldn't have ice, so I would be screwed.
And if they had ice i would still be screwed because I was on a desert island.
Unless I had Mariangela Melato with me on the island

I'm partial to Belvedere myself. Nice and smooth, easy going down.

I've heard that Three Olives is good too, i just can't drink a Vodka made in England!

Tito's for me, too. I didn't realize it was popular with anyone else until I read this thread.

SlushPuppy · « **Reply #11 on:** 16 Jan 2009, 02:47 am »

It's a tie for me between Level and Tito's.

BobC · « **Reply #12 on:** 16 Jan 2009, 02:55 am »

Kettle One for me...but a good friend of mine recommended Tito's if I can find it. I'll have to give it a try given the response here.

Topround the Vodka I brought is called Debowa Vodka. It has a piece of Oak inside for flavor from polish old forest.

Buffalo Grass Vodka is also pretty good. (again, real grass inside the bottle)

Chopin Vodka is another good choice

and many more...........

Belvedere Vodka

Mariusz · « **Reply #14 on:** 16 Jan 2009, 03:10 am »

Oh yeah, if you are a tube guy .....then the Debova Vodka is for you.

Mariusz · « **Reply #15 on:** 16 Jan 2009, 03:14 am »

Belvedere is like good Solid State amp with tube preamp

Another vote for Chopin. I also like Hanger 1 in a pinch.
