vodka

prplchknz · 09-21-2008, 06:35 PM

my room mate is turning 21 at the end of october, and I got her this set of 12 shot glasses and a bottle type thing with a stopper to put liqour or water in. I found out her favorite liqour is vodka, the only problem is I'm not a big vodka fan so I don't know what's good and what isn't. I want to get her a bottle to go along with the first gift something mid range in price but is well worth the money.

mid-range:pretty much what I mean is not a hundred dollars a bottle.

Choosing vodka depends on if you're drinking it straight or mixing it or the type of grain its distilled from.

I usually drink my vodka mixed with something. Most of the stuff I drink uses Stoli, Skyye, or some other midshelf brand. I've had Grey Goose and Belvedere (which are topshelf) and couldn't really tell the difference. I also hear Ketel One is pretty good with mixed drinks.

yay a reply! yeah, i wish i actually liked vodka then I could get the sampler sizes of the different brands and try those to see which ones I liked, but all of them to me taste ugh (bad experience one night, well it was the first time I got drunk)

Ciroc is good.
i'm not sure exactly how pricey it is though.

Vodka is nasty (OK with tonic tho). But I hardly like distilled spirits of any kind.

Ciroc is about the same price as Grey Goose last I checked.

I've personally always been a Stoli drinker- the super refined stuff lacks character in my thoughts, but Stoli doesn't have the BAD character that some cheaper ones (i.e. dark eyes, mccormicks.... absolut

) have.

Grey Goose. All else is merely commentary.

Why should you listen to me? I'm a Jew.

Nuff said. . . /thread

Are you really Jewish? After cowboys, Jews are my favourite people.

A well-priced brand of vodka that I like is Three Olives. They have a lot of different flavors that taste great. If you mix the grape flavor with coke, it tastes exactly like grape soda. Very yummy, especially for people who don't really want to taste the alcohol in their alcohol.

Van Gogh is good too (double espresso=heaven), but I'm not sure how much that costs.
