I like Goose, Ketel One, and Vox. Vox is the best bang for the buck, imo. Great stuff and a good 10-15$ cheaper than Goose, at least in the states

Give Vox a try... it's cheaper than Goose and it tastes pretty damn smooth. Not quite as good, but it'll get you very very close.

On the rocks, with a couple of big fat olives...Stoli, Ketel, Goose, Sky, Svedka, Abosolute...all good.

Mixed with Red Bull, pineapple, cranberry or 7 up...just about any vodka will do.

Going to have to try Vox now though.

I don't drink vodka much, but when I do I prefer Finlandia. It's not as bitter as the others, (maybe because of the barley base?) and not very expensive.

Just the thought of Smirnoff puts me at the verge of gagging. I used to take straight shots of it at parties because people would always bring it. Not a big vodka fan.

As a bartender I agree with hoagiepete if you are gonna mix vodka with a juice or a flavored soda don't waste your money cause any vodka will do. Otherwise I prefer Kettle One on the rocks with a twist.

I like a good martini, but vodka is not a good choice for a shot no matter what kind you choose. I'm too old for that now anyway, a shot of anything straight other than tequila will make me gag.

I really like Platinum 7x and also Pinnacle is not too bad. For the price Platinum 7x is worth a try for anyone looking for a good vodka at a fair price.
