Best way to drink Grey Goose?

Cheap vodka does NOT taste the same with a mixer, and it gives you a hangover if you drink too much.

I stick to the middle of the road. At home I buy Svedka for a "clean" tasting vodka, and Luksosowa potato vodka when I want a little flavor. Both are under $20 for a 1.75. Lotta bang for the buck and they both taste good.

I'll second this! Luksosowa (potato) vodka is very good, imo. Another Polish vodka I enjoy, but have a hard time finding in the US, is Zubrowka.

Bols vodka I thought was really good too, for a low/middle vodka, and very inexpensive in Europe. It's what most of the locals drank. I haven't found it here in the US though.

Enjoying a couple of Lukey's and grapefruit as we speak...

It's funny because when I tell someone it's potato vodka they are like "ewwww....." (especially chicks....they tend to not be adventurous) but I guarantee if it were goven to them in a blind taste test it would beat about 70% of everything out there including Stoli and Absolut and most of the other "semi-premiums". I always seem to get one of the two or three last bottles on the shelf so I know SOME people do appreciate it.

Most people don't realize that vodka was invented in Poland, not Russia. There's an interesting bit of trivia for ya.

I didn't know that either Str8up, and I've been to Poland several times.

I do know that the men there never mix anything in their vodka, only women do. Like vodka with apple juice.

The men do shots straight. Though, traditionally they would have a chaser of some sort, such as a dish of pickled mushrooms and onions on the table. Everyone does a shot together, then dips into the bowl with a fork.

Doing shots of vodka is a very social thing, and the Polish are very social people. They sure know how to enjoy drinking, that's for sure.

If you ever find yourself doing shots with a group of Polish people, you are guaranteed to have a good time. And, guaranteed to get drunk too.

i do not know brands of vodka, as i always just bought the cheap stuff and mixed it , since im such a chick .... but i know that when you go to a regular bar, you get the same cheap crap that you are used to in your drink. but when you go to a really nice place, upscale , bars, hotels, resorts, you get the really good stuff.

let me tell you why my reply matters to you, since i am a chick :
1. i must drink alot of the cheap stuff to get drunk enough to want to get naked. then when i do, like any other chick, i can get pretty mean before its all over with.
2. when i drink the good stuff, i may only need ONE single drink and have a perfect evening.


with that being said, i like vodka with cranberry juice or vodka with oj and peach snipes.

Whoops another mixer. Glad to know I'm not alone, lol.

Leave it to Moon to perfectly clarify our discussion. I used to take cheap bottles of vodka and gin (the cheapest sh!t I could find) and run them through a Brita filter a few times. You'd be very surprised how smooth the end result is. No lagging iron taste in the background and it never gave me a hangover.

I don't know what type of crap the cheap companies use as filler but I would get the worst headaches until I started filtering my booze.

I've heard that most of the difference between an inexpensive vodka and a super-premium one was how well they filtered it. It's kind of ridiculous that they charge up to 2-3 times as much and hype it as "super-premium" just for better filtering.
