If a bar doesn't have any good vodkas, you can always count on it to have a bottle of Grey Goose. It's just fine with soda and makes a potable martini, but it's barely above house vodka with a premium price tag, in my opinion.

By good vodkas I assume you are referring to Smirnoff, Five O'Clock, and Arrow?

I tend to drink Vodka straight on the rocks. That requires a very clean tasting vodka. My favorite in that regard is Belvedere. Many of the others -- even the esteemed Grey Goose -- have an unpleasant harshness and aftertaste.
Hanger One is OK too, as is Chopin. Ketel One is a good vodka, but is better for mixing.

Yeah, just my opinion. Drink what you like.

As everyone already knows, an honest mootini is made exclusively with gin. When vodka is called into service I favor Russian Standard and Luksusowa, iced hard with lemon twist accent and lemon-rubbed rim. Vodka however is best gulped cold, russian style.

I will try this $11.00 miracle. Might be better than Yerba Mate, Mith'. Thx.

This stuff isn't bad. I keep it on hand for tasty vodka tonics and screwdrivers.

I was drinking that stuff for several weeks because it was so inexpensive and I liked the taste as well. But, I swear it kills more brain cells than most other vodkas I drink. Or maybe I was just hitting it harder than I did the others?

I am the agent for Vertical Vodka made by chartreuse from France. It is one of the few vodkas that is four times distilled. Worth a try if you can get it.

Wyborowa? I like that one, along with the Luksusowa (what I have now). I'm not a vodka connoiseur by any means, but all I know is that these taste good to me, don't cost too much, and that Smirnoff is like gasoline. I've had Ketel One and prefer the Luksusowa.

They don't seem to sell this Sobieski here in BC, but I'll have to try out some of the other brands mentioned here...
