So for the past several months to about a year i have been randomly sampling vodkas. From teh lowest of the low to well.... middle ground since i am poor.

Tried the Lukswana(sp?) potato vodka
Last bottle i had was Sobienski (sp?)
Today i picked up a bottle of Pinnacle


If i want shitty vodka for the price i will get Nikoli 50%

Have had Stolis and Grey Goose (off of other people hehe).

The most dangerous to me is the Blue Raspberry generic vodka.

So basically i am tired of randomly sampling vodkas and never knowing if my money will be well spent. I mean i will polish off a bottle no matter what, but when i roll with my flask full of the hootch to a bar i dont want it to be tasting like shit.

I generally like to pick up a 1.75 lt bottle for 25$ or less... preferably in teh in 20$ range.

Anyone have any good selections out there?

Popov.

One of the few ways for 6 people to have fun with $7

But it tastes like sticking your tongue in Satan's vagina.

Flavored vodkas are for girls.

Under $20 you're probably best off with smirnoff.

there isnt much depth to vodka. quality is basically determined by how far away it takes from rubbing alcohol.

Wouldn't bottled Russian piss probably taste better, be cheaper, and still be like 120 proof?

It all tastes the same except potato vodka, I think it lacks that soapy overtone. Also Jelzin is like drinking window cleaner.

I realize flavored vodka has already been criticized, but Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka (http://www.fireflyvodka.com/) tastes fucking amazing.

i was wondering about that stuff. THe local liqour store just got some in when i was getting my bottle yesterday. Didnt want to risk it tho since generally anything claiming to taste like tea just tastes like shit

Well it's the Vodka du Jour in Charleston, because it's made 20 miles outta town. I find shots of it to go down extremely smoothly and if you mix it with water and lemonade powder you can't even tell there's alcohol in it.

hahah i was gonna say, you already have flavored vodka... why would you flavor it with MORE crap.

Still nice to know it goes down smooth in shot version. That is mostly what i lookin for since 99% of the time i drink vodka straight

I honestly thought while I was drinking it: "If I ever wanted to get a straightlaced chick who'd never had alcohol wasted so I could take advantage of her, this is how I would do it."

I am 'unenlightened'. I drink Smirnoff vodka as my low end and Absolut as my top shelf.... My top shelf doesn't go very high.

Or you just happen to be a southerner who enjoys combining the awesomeness of sweet tea with drunkeness.

I don't care if somthing is cotton candy flavored, thats cool. If it gets you drunk thats aight with me.

Now having said that, even some of the flavor instilled vodkas can taste pretty bold as well as fuck you up.

I mean, Akvavit is essentially just spiced vodka, and its a mighty fine spirit.

The first time Rykros, Dezolis, and I had liquor it was Akvavit. Our parents were given some as a gift by... someone, and we stole it.


Never heard of it... nor that ghostbusters shiottt

That's because the Ghostbusters' house is a reference to the toy in which Dezolis hid the empty bottle when we were done. It was supposed to be temporary, but he forgot about it and our mother found the bottle while she was cleaning. She was very upset.

Koskenkorva, my favourite definately. Drink it raw, drink it with your friends, whiskey and other flavoured "Alcohol" are bullshit. It's not booze if it doesn't taste like booze.

protip: but it in a grey goose/bacardi bottle

this a). gives you an excuse to buy and consume grey goose and b). makes uninformed womens think they are being treated super well when in fact you are giving them $12 vodka

Note: this does not usually work on the bright ones.

Good god, spend the 20 something odd bucks on a quality 5th, instead of piss half gallons, you do realize that you pay for what you get when it comes to hard liqours, the poorer the distillation and the less filtration used the bigger the loads of minerals and other garbage that gives you a hangover are present. That aside, popov is terrible, pinnacle is the best 'budget' half gallon of vodka you will find, as it is made by grey goose and close to that quality. Although ALL vodka tastes halfway decent if you fill a shaker with crushed ice and pour ice cold diluted shots. :thumb:
