What's your favorite vodka to drink straight? How

>>8495116
I usually chase shots of absolut with whatever is there. Grey Goose is fine too.

Straight? Zubrowka
Mixing? Russian standard or titos

>>8495133
>Grey Goose is fine too
>TL;DR: I'm a 19 year old girl at college

Straight, Stolichnaya Elit.
Mixed, I'll take whatever there is, which is usually Absolut, Koskenkorva or Russian Standard.

whichever is cheapest, usually a $10 plastic jug of Svedka.

Try I'm an alcoholic who will drink anything as long as it isn't too sugary.

Green Mark for drinking straight
Any old shit for mixing

>>8495116
sobieski

smirnoff

>>8495116
Russian Standard is my go-to vodka. It's right in the bone zone of quality vs affordability, and comes in ginormous 1.75 L bottles which means less trips to the liquor store, because it makes me sad when the employees greet me by name.

>>8495116
Zubrowka is my sipping vodka. A wee glass unchilled after dinner.
Chopin is excellent as a mixer, but both Chase and Stoli have some interesting flavours if that's your thing. The Chase marmalade is absolutely beautiful. Belvedere black as a shooter.

>>8495210
Correct answer

Sobieski. I only eat and drink products named after royalty.

>>8495116
>straight
Zubrowka, Ketel one, Russian standard
>mixing
Too many calories.

I keep a handle of Grey Goose in the freezer for the gurls and/or parties. It's nothing special but it's often on sale at Costco and it's a very well known brand.

I don't really drink vodka neat but I also keep a bottle of Reyka in my home bar for moscow mules and other vodka-based cocktails

Stoli - nothing compares

>>8495116
Ketel one.

Ketel on the rocks with an orange wedge. Delicious

Its fucking vodka, you nancey's. Who cares? Learn to drink a real barrel aged beverage. Like you dont have a fucking vagina.

>>8495116
Chopin straight
Stoli mixed

I don't get it doen't vodka taste like the same damn thing? I drink smirnoff with water because a big bottle is cheap as fuck. How can the taste of vodka even vary?

Chopin is probably my favorite that I've found for drinking straight or in a nice cocktail that doesn't cover up the vodka too much.

Otherwise I usually mix Stoli just because that's what I most commonly have lying around, but really anything will do.

Vodka has differences in flavor based on distilling method, what filtration they use, and what they distill from. I'm a fan of vodkas that carry a lot from what they started as. Some wheat vodkas taste faintly sweet and malty, others taste more of grassy wheat husk. Grape vodka, potato, corn, they all vary when some esters are allowed to carry over. My favorite vodka is distilled from apples at an orchard in NY. Smooth, a little sweet in taste, and has fruity notes of vanilla. If you're in the NE, check it out if you see it -- 1911. Their gin is probably my favorite spirit, period.

>>8495210
Basically the only vodka I drink lately.

>>8495116
Taaka with a bit of tonic/seltzer/club soda.

I just turned 21 so I don't know shit other than the garbage I drank in college, so I just mix the cheapest vodka I can find with cranberry soda
It's pretty good.

>>8495116
best vodka for poor college student?

>>8497453
Taaka. 12$ for a handle.
Tastes like rubbing alcohol, but it does the job.

>>8497447
craanberryyy
such a good flavor

Luksusowa true potato vodka has the best flavor. If you want to spend a little extra get Chopin; it's more refined than Luksusowa but not as flavorful.

Let me red pill you on something buddy. All vodka is the same blend of neutral grain spirits. There is no differences in quality. Pick a real liquor like whiskey which actually has differences in the distillation and brewing process

That's litteraly what vodka is though. from top shelf to bottom, the difference in taste and quality is negligible. All you are paying for is the name.

>>8495116
I drink russian standard or stoly for everything

no idea why smirnof is still sold

>>8500180
Nah that's total bullshit. Higher shelf vodka tends to be much smoother.

>>8501467
>>non-Canadians will never know this feel
Of the government having control over your booze and booze prices? Yea, thank God I'll never know that feel. We already made that mistake.

>>8502067
>It's smoother if you drink it neat, at room temperature, which essentially nobody does
Haha, yea who would do that...

But really I typically just drink vodka straight and warm. I don't know why but I like it. I rarely ever have mixed drinks if I'm not at a bar. It sounds like too much effort. I certainly agree that the nasty flavor of cheap vodka basically disappears in a mixed drink.

My nearest liquor store has Skyy for cheaper than Taaka. It can't be that bad, right?

>the point of drinking in public is entirely social in nature
Dude I barely even know where to start with you.

>>8502067
>However, expensive vodka does have much more impressive bottles, and let's face it: the point of drinking in public is entirely social in nature, and the bottle is important. Paying more for fancy vodka is perfectly justified, so don't get the wrong idea here.

In my social circles, I'd probably get more cred for drinking Barton than some high-end stuff.

>>8495116
straight Ketel one
mixed: anything really

Belvedere and Goose are the "best" vodkas I've had. I use Grey Goose to mix. My bottle is almost empty. What should I replace it with if I want something better/actually good?

>>8497453
wyborowa if it's not sold for "IMPORTED FANCY SHIT" prices.

Tito's or Luksusova

by the way, why does nobody ever mention wyborowa here? Is it not sold in murrifatland? it's pretty good and it doesn't cost more than cheap store brand windex-tier stuff (partially because of taxes in NL)

Literally worst fucking vodka for the price, good job, Sobieski is 2x better and shouldn't be that expensive for an Americuck

This is my fucking favorite vodka ever
Delicious rye flavor, smooth as fuck, only a buck or two more for a handle than Smirnoff or Sobieski.
It's fairly hard to find, not impossible, but REALLY not a common standard, which it really should be.

Sobieski is my go-to though. Again, VERY smooth, good flavor (love the rye) and cheaper than Smirnoff, every bit as ubiquitous. I wish it would replace Smirnoff as "The Vodka", really. I have no need for any other. Stoli's good too, but a little ritzier.

This. Drinking it straight straight, sweet enough that I don't need to wash it down with anything nor get some snack to cover the bite.

Getting out of work in the evening, raining cats and dogs, a 200ml flask is great to keep me warm through the trip home.

>>8495116
Stoli Elit neat out of the freezer
Smirinoff to mix

>>8497467
are you on your period?

Smirnoff and OJ is pretty good. Can mix it 50/50 and drink with ease.

>>8495116
Brand does not matter that much. Any average or better quality vodka will do, (something that is not total crap). However temperature matters quite a lot, average vodka but very cold will go better than some "best" quality but not cooled enough. So put that vodka into freezer few hours before drinking.

>>8502678
>it's pretty good
is it?
It's only around €8 per bottle but I wouldn't wanna spend that based on the suggestion of only one random stranger on the internet, especially considering the mixed opinions like >>8505964
