AND I AM A SNOB about vodka!
needless to say you are wasting your money on vodka if you say I only drink grey goose, kettle one, sky or absolut. they are crap you might as well go with smirnoff my friend. my preference for a bottle of vodka around $20 is stolichnaya. Its pretty good, and less burn that grey goose and 10 dollars cheaper. which blows skyy and absolut out of the water.
But if I wanted to pamper my self I would have a hard time. cause I like two particular brands that are about the same price range. they are Vox and ciroc.
Now the tough part would be what would I want it for? If I wanted to drink it straight I would definitely go with Vox. So smooth and so clean you wouldn't need a chaser! plus it makes a mighty find mixed drink base. no bite to your sex on the beach (though I wouldn't mind that if it was something less liquid) but it is best by itself. Standing alone like a lone champion. It needs no help. And very versatile in any situation.
But if I wanted a juice drink! Ciroc has the cards in its favor. I dunno how they make it but they state it is a grape vodka. And I can say it mixes so well with juices it is great. screw drivers all night! I think its best mixed with orange juice
I once had this decently expensive vodka (~$40) called blavod. Its black vodka made from england. Its just black food coloring in it to make it black. its a gimmick....that and its so smooth I drank so much I cant remember the night. 90% vodka to %10 cranberry juice seemed about right....little did I know how much I drank of that...(over half the bottle I assume) granted by it self blavod doesn't stand a chance against vox. But whew something about a hint of cranberry juice makes it perfect.
Ok, now if I wanted cheep vodka I would go with "mar-val" vodka. Now must of the world would never come across such a vile liquid, and they are lucky. But if you do happen to come across it you must procure it. For about $6 a bottle its not a horrible investment. Though it is actually is quite nasty. But it is the elixir of life. this strange substance does not mix at all. And when I mean that I mean if you put it in juice it goes straight to the top. You have to stir it every time you drink. And if you have to vomit, only it comes up, even if you have 6 Carl's Junior hamburgers before drinking. But you feel great the next day. Assuming you drank it with ocean spray cranberry juice. cause it may not work by itself. I couldn't drink it by itself for more than a swig back in those days. So maybe my theory can be destroyed with other experimentations. If you are brave enough.
