[mainegreen]

3. Cold River Potato Vodka

Made near my home town and damned tasty. So good it's an abomination not to drink it neat.

[guitar man]

4. Vox!!

[driver8]

41. Vox is the shiz-nit!

I was out one night and a bartender suggested I try it.

Man...that is some good vodka!

[SteppingRazor]

5. My fiancee swears by Ketel One...

personally, I try not to drink vodka. It makes me do terrible things that I don't remember in the morning.

9. I hear Shakers is some wonderful stuff

from some Vodka-loving pals o' mine.

[northzax]

10. for what?

straight smooth drinking? I like the Chopin (polish, though)

you also can't go wrong with Zubrowka (polish grass vodka, known for the picture of the buffalo)

a nice american one is Hangar One.

but for pure rotgut, you can't do better than the American Poland Springs (in the handle, of course) or for the real, Russian experience: aftershave.

11. I'm a big fan of the Absolut.

Citron or plain only.

[MissB]

17. Mandarin.

[youthere]

19. I tried some of the Mandarin and didn't care for it myself...

Have you tried any of the other flavors?

[MissB]

20. No, because I love Mandarin.

With a little bit of cranberry juice and a wedge of lime.

My perfect drink. :hi:

[Va Lefty]

27. Absolut Citron

[toadzilla]

29. i think the grapefruit flavor is quite tasty

the pear isnt bad either

[philosophie_en_rose]

33. Grapefruit? Finally! A breakfast drink I can endorse.

:rofl:

I think I'll try pear, too.

[MissMillie]

43. does this mean you've tried the pear and don't like it

or you haven't tried the pear?

This pear thing intrigues me, but I don't know how I'd drink it.

12. TIto's, and that includes Stoli and Grey Goose.

"We're going to go out on a limb and say Tito's vodka is the smoothest we've ever tasted. That's not to say there's no better vodka out there, but between the taste and the price, which is an added bonus of a small company with low overhead and no importing costs, we're Tito's converts. We can't think of any reason, barring two broken legs and a restraining order from the liquor store, why we won't always have a bottle of Tito's in our cabinet."

13. The free kind

:)

[Bridget Burke]

14. I'm not a big vodka drinker, but had a sample of Svedka....

At Spec's Liquor Warehouse, near Downtown Houston. Free liquor & wine samples are often available!

Simply chilled--no mixers. Quite delicious. Next time I buy vodka, I'll buy Svedka.

[JackBeck]

25. That's the only vodka I buy!

:thumbsup:

[toadzilla]

31. mmmm svedka

its good, and its cheap. the big bottle is only around $19, cant beat it.

[bif]

15. Ketel One, Absolut, Findlandia. In that order.

[TommyO]

16. Another vote for Ketel One here

[Fuzz]

18. Jewel of Russia, Charodei and Zyr

[jobycom]

21. Obviously no serious vodka drinkers here, or Tito's would not be ignored.

:P

[redqueen]

22. Belvedere?

I haven't tried Tito's yet.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

23. Rain Vodka

It's all organic -- and it's delicious.

Very smooth, no aftertaste and the hangover is pretty much non-existent. (I think this has something to do with the organic-ness of it.)

[Initech]

24. Ketel One and Absolut are my favorites

I like Grey Goose, but I do not like the idea of paying $60 for a 2-liter.

[UncleSepp]

26. Vodka Monopolowa.

Good potato vodka.

[Cruzan]

28. Take your pick

30. Ciroc is my poison of choice

When I have the money for it. Vox or Pravda otherwise.

[BluePatriot]

32. Pravda, Svedka and Tito's

...in decreasing quality and price, hehe :)

[Katina]

34. not to be repetitive but Ketel One & Absolute

they make delicious gimlets.

[LostInAnomie]

35. Dark Eyes

If you're cheap as hell like me. :evilgrin:

[kedrys]

36. Polar Ice, eh

Used to come in a black glass bottle - only recently found out it comes from my native Great White North. Calibrated to live in your freezer, pours like syrup, makes a great mix with fruit punch. :toast:

[qwertyMike]

37. Vodka - it's Alcohol + Water

It's for getting drunk.

Take your pick:
Smirnoff - Russia - Potatoe based
Iceberg, Canada - Barley

Whe're not talking 10 tear old Scotch here.

It's water and alcohol.
Enjoy.

[wildhorses]

38. you say po-ta-toes and i say po-tah-toes

absolute---ly positively!!

[cemaphonic]

39. Bombay Sapphire

Yeah, yeah I know... Still, distilled grain alcohol + water + flavored infusions - Gin really just sort of a species of flavored vodka.

[gr8dane_daddy]

40. Tito's Handmade Vodka

from Austin Texas Baby!

[Alexander]

42. Svedka, hands down.

It's way cheaper than Grey Goose, but is rated an 89 - 3 points below - on some vodka-tasting survey I read about. Or something. And it's fun to get drunk off it.
