What's your favorite vodka?

Postby Archetype » Mon Apr 01, 2013 9:51 am

Mine is definitely Double Cross. I drink it neat at refrigerator temperature (ideal vodka temperature is 42-46 Fahrenheit) in a chilled glass. So incredibly enjoyable. Great warmth.

My top 5 runners up are:

Russian Standard
Zyr
Vermont Gold
Belvedere
Vox

A nice group shot :D

I'm allergic as well, but if I had to pick one, I'd pick Stoli.

Drinking it straight, I'll go with SKYY. For mixes, I'll use Vikingfjord.

I couldn't imagine life being allergic to it! What a shame :cry:

My wife is also allergic to alcohol. She can't even get it on her skin, if she does, it turns red like a sun burn for a while.

Ketel One and Absolut. I'm not big on flavored vodkas but when I'm having a certain kind of drink, Absolut does a good job of just adding a hint of the flavor instead of changing the taste of the spirit altogether. And when it comes to a vodka tonic or on those rare occasions when I decide to thow caution to the wind and get hammered on shots, Ketel One is so incredibly smooth.

I've always said my favorite is the one in the glass, on ice! And fuck the fancy vodka with the fancy names. I bet if you did a taste test blindfolded,

you wouldn't know the difference. When I go to the store to get my favorite, I head to Smirnoff.

You just have incredibly dull taste buds. Also, you're drinking it wrong. Putting ice in vodka is a terrible idea if you hope to enjoy any its flavor. I've done a number of blindfolded tests to prove to people that there is a significant difference between vodkas. I've always been right. I bet if we gave you Smirnoff and Double Cross blindfolded, you'd see a world of difference. Distilled and filtered 7x as opposed to 3x. You're getting all flavor and no nasty distillation byproducts, known as congeners (they're good and bad; Smirnoff has a lot more of the "bad" ones). Smirnoff comes in plastic bottles too, doesn't it? That's not helping your flavor either.

Add a couple of olives and it doesn't matter much. In the summer, put it in lemonade or 7-up, again the type doesn't matter.

Moved over to Scotch lately, especially single malt. I love sipping on this, but have never enjoyed vodka in the same manner.

And are you the fucking vodka GOD now? Do you think I wait until the ice melts to drink it straight up? Ummm, no peckerhead. My vodka stays chilled

most if not all the time. When it's time to drink it I add tonic to it. I also like to trade off on the vodka and go with Gin. But hey, your the expert taste

tester! LOL!

Indigence. The telltale sign of someone stepping on their own dick. Enjoy your smirnoff.

Indigent? While I'm astonished ol chap that you even know the word. But yes, I'm needy, live under a bridge and work a street corner for money :shock:

I generally don't drink Vodka. But the smoothest I've ever tried was a local one called 'Cold River.' Frigging expensive, but certainly the closest I ever came to being able to drink it tolerably.
