Whoa—thanks for that tip! I’m cutting and pasting the instructions ASAP. Sounds like a winner!
As for the rest, people say vodka has no flavor but it absolutely does [no pun], and I just don’t like it. In an extremely fine Bloody Mary it’s okay, but that’s the only time I don’t mind it. I know it’s very popular and tons of people love it. I just fail to see the appeal.
I feel the same way. It tastes like rubbing alcohol to me. I’m not a big drinker but if I do have one it’s usually rum or tequila, maybe a beer.
The best vodka should have no flavor that’s why Grey Goose is so smooth and Smirnoff is so sharp, Grey Goose has more filtration. If you hate vodka you should try to make a little effort to give it a second chance buy a good brand, 3 Olives is decent and smooth but not Obama expensive, use it in a White Russian, B54, Chocolate Martini, Long Island Iced tea, or a shandy (frozen lemonade made with beer instead of water (I use Sierra Nevada pale ale) with 4ozs vodka). The vodka adds a smoothness and gives the drink a good umpfh. I’m going to make this girl I’m dating a chocolate martini on our third date next week hope it works, it never failed to impress before.
