Anybody got a good vodka recommendation?
I like a good vodka martini and bloody mary from time to time. I typically buy Grey Goose because, well, damn it's smooth. But it's pricey. I've managed to find a rum and a tequila that aren't nearly as pricey as the top shelf, yet really hits the spot. No such luck so far on vodka. Skyy didn't do it for me, cool bottle but that's where it ended.
I'll pony up for the Goose because it's dependable, but I love finding those diamonds in the rough that buck the 'pay for what you get' trend. Whatcha got?

Ketel One since college. Ill do Stoli as well. Not a big Vodka fan...kinda grew up on it, taste like crap now. Did the take and refill with water trick on ole dad. he'd get so pissed.
Jack and Ginger these days...like the dryness of Jack. Actually sippin that now with Indica on the side.

Avion tequila and Red Bull silver (lime flavor). Nice and easy.

Ketel One, Grey Goose, Stoli, Absolut (which is kinda eh, bottom/middle shelf for me. It's the budget alcohol), Belvedere.
Won't touch anything else.
I'm not a big fan of Ciroc but people seem to like it. I think it's crap.
Dump the overpriced GG and pick up some Tito's. Best bang for the buck by far.

Vodka?
Well, being that I was just watching the Big Lebowski the other day, a white russian is very good.

Nothing fancy , Captain Morgan over ice with a splash of coke and lime.

I enjoy GG but just like wine there are great options that don't cost an arm and a leg. I love finding those.

By the way, if anybody's looking for an inexpensive light rum that mixes well give Olo a run.
