Pinnacle if I'm trying to get drunk. Smirnoff if I'm just enjoying a cocktail with a meal. Whatever you do make sure you keep it in the freezer.

stoli

Grey Goose if you’re not poor

Smirnoff always seals the deal.

>>11097517
this

>>11097491
tastes exactly like smirinoff but costs twice as much

I used to drink grand teton but it kind of tastes like shit for $15/750

What do you guys think Ciroc peach would go well with? I'm preferably gonna mix it with carbonated water, flavored.

>>11097543
>flavored vodka
It would go good down the drain. Protip: it is never good.

>>11097554

Well I'm not drinking it straight, I'm hoping the water and the extra flavor dilute it pretty much lol

>>11097554
>it is never good
this

>>11097558
99.99% of the time you are better off just using regular vodka with whatever you are trying to mix it with.

The ONE thing I have ever managed to make with them that was "ok" was a sort of margarita made with two smashed bomb pops and ~2 shots of this. It was drinkable but full of sugar and not all that good. I only had the bottle because the GF wanted to try it because she liked the red white and berry "beers" that they make. Admittedly those are pretty good.

>>11097554
unless its deep eddy

Seagram's.

>>11097585

this 100% lemon is great

>>11097603
yep was gonna say that exact type, tastes like chic-fil-a lemonade

Finlandia

>>11097435
New Amsterdam, because I'm classy white trash and I can buy it at Target.

You're paying too much for vodka if you're paying more than $10 per handle.

Smirnoff is the go-to for a reason. Beyond that, I have had some luck with Svedka and Russian Standard. Here in Ohio the price for all 3 is really reasonable. Won't even break a $20 bill.

Childhood is drinking vodka, adulthood is realizing gin is the superior clear liquor

>>11097638
Vodka is for getting wasted, Gin is for remaining somewhat functional.

>>11097638
this and monkey 47 is the absolute best

>>11097531
>tastes exactly like smirinoff but costs twice as much

This is false. Pretty sure Smirinoff pays off judges. Its the shittiest vodka in its price range. Grey Goose is a ton better than it, although maybe not that much better than something a little more expensive like Absolut.

>>11097683
Grey goose is just a little bit sweeter but honestly I want my vodka to taste like nothing and smirinoff does a great job at that.

>>11097619
My nigga

>>11097648
Thoughts on Uncle Vals?

>>11097686
But Smirinoff doesn't taste like nothing, it taste bad. Svedka, Pinnacle, even Seagram mix far better with water. Goose and Absolut you can barely taste once mixed with water. Obviously they go even better when making a real drink.

>>11097694
Different strokes for different folks, I think absolut tastes pretty bad

>>11097638
gin is just flavored vodka

>>11097753
Wrong it's flavored and redistilled clear spirits. Vodka would be clear spirits with added water, without a second distillation

Repping Tito's all the way. Smooth as a baby's ass, almost sneaks up on you.

>>11097435
these guys are all fucking plebs, get skyy

Check out Ralfy's recommendations.

popov

>>11097435
stolichnaya

>>11097883
Skyy is in the fucking picture you retard.

>>11097435
reyka is pretty good

recommendations like sky and smirnoff are to be discarded. the shit is industrial swill and the reason they recommend it is because it's all they know

Stolichnaya is a smidgeon more expensive, sometimes the same price as those, and is the official vodka of the fucking Russian government. Do you really need a better reason?

>>11097686
>Smirnoff taste like nothing
This
Vodka's sole purpose is to make things alcoholic. Anyone who tells you different is lower class.
Protip: keeping alcohol cold kills its flavor that's why people keep vodka in the freezer and why beer that advertises itself as "Cold as the Rockies" taste like shit.

>>11098737
Patrician choice

>>11097435
Finlandia

For me its russian standard

>>11097435
Belvedere

any of these are good imo.

jjust one shelf above the plastic handles of taaka.

i feel no need to get anything more pricey.

this right here is my favorite
and it's cheap, too

>>11097638
Gin is worse than alcoholic pickle brine

>>11098700
This nigga knows

>>11098832
Great choice, my dude

Whatever you do, don't get this paint thinner

I buy either russian standard or stolli.
There's a few other ones I'll buy if they're on special.
42° Below is a good New Zealand vodka which is sometimes the same price as stolli.

>>11097435
Shit vodka (I like "21") and an old brita

>>11097435
sobieski is very goog quality at a very cheap price.

>>11099034

>>11098700
Tastes great with a sparkling lavender soda, no better drink when it's hot out.

Not the first, and not the last but
>Stolichnaya

Stoli is the perfect blend between quality and affordability. Its provably better than Goose, don't let Frenchfags tell you different.

>>11097585
I almost forgot about Deep Eddy, but yes. Best flavored vodka ever. Smirnoff or Pinnacle are decent alternatives for non-fruit-but-still-flavored vodka

If its for a party I'll buy Ketel One or Reyka but usually I just get New Amsterdam

>>11097465
this but unironically

>>11097435
Anyone saying anything other than Tito's is wrong.

>>11097435
Absolut 100%

>$15-20 a fifth
>doesn't taste like gasoline
>cool bottle with them ruskie letters
For me, it's russian standard.

>>11099142
This guy knows his shit. The Poles have a handle on vodka that comes in handles, you're not doing wrong if you get Sobieski or Luksusowa, depending on if you want grain or potato, and both are $15-$20 for a half gallon.

New amsterdam

>>11097465
this but not ironically

tito's and russian standard alternate being a buck cheaper around here, so whichever is cheaper is the one I grab.

In Germany there is one called "360". its smoother than smirnoff at nearly the same cost

taaka. it's not great but is worth the price, just a different balance

>>11097435
pinnacle or smirnoff, id probably prefer smirnoff if i didnt drink vodka exclusively to get blasted so the lowest cost is what i got with

russian standard because its what boris drinks and i want to be slav like him

lukosusowa and monoplowa are both good potato vodkas. low-mid priced

>>11100964
came here to post this

>>11097435
nothing but svedka

>>11097531
You want a plastic bottle thick enough that it looks and has the rigidity of glass but isn't.

Nikolai every time. cheap as the shit vodkas, 100x better tasting

I like Hammer and Sickle
It's one of the few vodkas I don't mind drinking by itself as I cook with it
Pretty smooth when compared to Tito
That and it's not too expensive at my local liquor store

Sobieski.

Platinum 7x is decent. It's also the same as Sam's club branded vodka. Can confirm since I make that shit. It just high proof vadka and water. Slightly cheaper vodkas are usually cut with neutral spirits or blenders with adatives

Bowman's is the cheapest 1.75L I can get around here.

żołądkowa gorzka

>>11097435
Stoli. Or polish wodka

For me it's Kirkland branded vodka, the best vodka for the price.

>>11097435
Sobieski

>>11097453
>Pinnacle
at that point you're better off buying Popov

>>11098700
based as fuck

>>11097435
>>11102850
Seconded
Kirkland signature is affordable and inoffensive.

>>11099142
Came here to post this. Thread is full of underage cucks that dont know shit.

>>11097491

Grey Goose is literally just marketing. The guy who made it just sent it to bars in nice boxes and fancy bottles so that it would get a reputation.

>>11104340
It's French and Europeans are not good at judging the quality of anything French.

Am I the only one that likes ciroc?

>>11099038
>paint thinner
What? it was smooth enough to drink out the bottle with a nice aftertaste

>>11097435
Anything that comes in a 1.75l plastic bottle.

>>11099022
>$10 for Smirnoff
Feels bad being taxed to shit here

>>11097435
I always buy a handle of stoli. If that's not available then I drink titos. If that's not available then fuck it I'll drink something else. Stoli never gives me a hangover, ever.

>>11097435
Sobieski, about $19 for a handle

>>11105563
fuck sakes you aussies always pay so much for booze

ciroc drinking straight. ketel mixed with mio flavour squirts and just water. Costco for cocktails if anyone's coming from a trip to the states or smirnoff if not
