pricey Vodka is 90% about the glass and Akroyd to his credit has the coolest
I have an unopened bottle on the fireplace mantle as a piece of art
Wifey drinks vodka...for the money...Sobieski is best...or Svedka
for pure taste and smoothness....Grey Goose..or Prichards
but Vodka ain’t Red Wine...you really don’t get what you pay for
>>Wifey drinks vodka...for the money<<
Wow! Had wifey #1 done the same she could have put a meal or 2 on the table!
Vodka used to be my drink of choice. Plain. Nothing else. No water, no lime, no lemon, no mixers. It’s a polish thing in our family. If you mix your vodka, it aint worth drinking (or so the old family adage was).
And plain Stoli’s was my favorite. Room temperature. No ice.
I couldn’t stomach any flavored vodka’s, and the grey goose types were just coming on the market when I quit drinking, so I never really had a chance to try them.
But, grey goose and such have nice ads, and when I do think about goin back to booze (which is rare) it’s because of some slick vodka commercial.... everytime.
BTW, the crappiest Vodka I ever drank was a gift. Absolute. I forever more called it Absolute Crap, but I see now in the grocery store they have dummied it up with flavors.
Well, I take that back. The ABSOLUTE worst vodka is beefeaters. I think even hobo’s pass that stuff up.
Like my Daddy before me, I was a Smirnoff drinker. That is, until my sons and I got to know — and drink with — a bunch of Iron Curtain Poles, Ukrainians and Russians.
The only thing they’d drink when they were seriously drinking was Russian Standard.
They considered brands like Grey Goose and Ketel to be overpriced commercial swill.
agree with Sobieski and Svedka. Both are our vodkas of choice when mixing etc....but making martini,s it is Kettle One or Graygoose.
But give me a glass of Glenlivet on ice all day long...And some poker chips!
