My friends got me this as a birthday present. Do you recommend any mixes? I've tried rootbeer and pouring one of those grape kool aid squeezers

Ginger Ale is pretty good

>>21569549 (OP)
My favorite is to use it to fortify beer though; get a tangy sour and use 2 parts beer to 1 part vodka.

>>21569549 (OP)
mix in some lemon lime soda of your choice, maraschino cherries cut in half, and blue curacao for color

>put in freezer
>pour shot
>take shot
>eat pickle

вкycнo

you could drink this without mix, but id mix it with coffee liqueur

>>21569549 (OP)
kamikaze.

>>21569549 (OP)
>>21569577
+1 to this get some Fever Tree ginger ale.

>>21569549 (OP)
Put it on the freezer and drink it on the rocks.
It's entry-level good vodka of the type you can drink on its own.

I'm trying to be cautious because the last time I said Grey Goose was good an autist made three posts in a row explaining how it's overrated and I'm either an idiot or shill.

Now I'm getting flamed for calling it entry-level good.

So yeah, it's good enough to be drunk on its own, you shouldn't waste it making some drink, that's all I'm gonna say otherwise I get flamed by some obsessed retard apparently.

>>21570675
Mr Boston

Anyway grey goose is smooth enough you can sip it, like another suggested put it in the freezer overnight first. It's a "western" style vodka that's meant to have as little taste as possible and is honestly probably one of the better examples of that style. It'll also make a nice super heavy screwdriver or greyhound, but don't waste it mixing it when soda or something.

I get to watch people slowly poisoning themselves every day, can confirm TV100 is the drink of choice for the most patrician of suicidal deadbeats. Heaven Hill/Quality House is a close runner up. In terms of other spirits it has to be 99, Kentucky Deluxe or Gentleman, and alternating between Evan Williams black and white every other day.

No vodka is, there's only "less terrible." Admittedly I've never had Grey Goose but I refuse to believe that any "premium" vodka is worth blowing money on. I've got a bottle of Paderewski which I'm "enjoying" and I remember liking White Pelican when I had it at a funeral but still, just get a nice aged whiskey if you want something to sip.

>>21572452
Make up your fucking mind, you pseudo booze-snob. Christ.

>>21574857
>>21574238
>>21572588
I'm not a vodka expert, I just tried Grey Goose, Smirnoff, Absolut, SKYY, Belvedere, some imported Eastern Euro vodka whose name I don't remember, and then all supermarket garbage stuff.

Out of those Belvedere and Grey Goose were the best. They were on another level. But there is always some alcoholic snobby fuck that knows more than you coming to flame you. It's fine to admit you are not an expert on something.

I will stand my ground to say it is a waste to drink GG mixed in a drink, it's worth it to enjoy it neat or on the rocks.

>>21570558
This one is great. I get it as a long drink with pineapple juice added. A blue Hawaiian, too
Cranberry is good, too, the bitterness hides the alcohol flavor. Black coffee works similarly.
I'll do vodka, triple sec, splash of oj, but ive never found oj to be great at hiding the taste, more so the vodka ruining the orange juice.
With some bailies and Irish cream is great.
I don't like bloody Mary's, but theyre popular. Theres a ferry from new York to Connecticut that is locally known for theirs, they use a real old school recipe. That said, it does pair with tomatoes in a sauce or even a rose sauce, but cook the vodka out, which is easy as hell to do even with out flambaying.
Equal parts midori and pineapple is a tasty shooter. I was looking for a drinking game to play while playing smash brothers and that came up and were called warp pipes. Were good.
Personally, I just take swigs from the bottle

>>21574585
You can taste and feel the difference with ciroq. Its expensive, so I dont get it. Skyy is fairly smooth, smoother than smirnoff. Kind of like a cheaper Grey goose. Goose is fine, but id rather save the few bucks. Belvedere was harsher than I would jave imagined. Rubinoff, popov, and that other one that just burns with the blue and white label are all noticeably below.

>>21572600
kek so true
>it must be chilled in the freezer
This just makes it viscous and worse on the way down. Room temperature is superior
>it must be chased with fatty meat on bread, acidic pickles, a fucking onion, or very salty fish/caviar!
This just fucks up your stomach more. Best chase is water, hands down. Food is best eaten in between drinking since 80 proof liquor obviously ruins whatever food you're eating.
>it must be consumed as shots!
Cope for alkies to mask how much they're actually drinking. It is best consumed from a full sized glass. That way you can take bigger swigs or smaller sips while controlling your portion better.

>>21572887
I'm curious anon, where do U work? Liquor store?, hospital? Or are U just watching drunks in the park or something?

Liquor store, haven't been able to find a big boy job since graduating college. Saves money on booze though

>>21574585
NTA but I tried Grey Goose once, side by side with Finlandia and it's absolutely a world of difference, my body reacted completely differently.
Still not worth the price though if you just want to get drunk since I mix it with orange juice anyway.

>>21575555
Do you have a community college nearby where you can take classes, or something you’d enjoy doing as a volunteer? What about dog walking for the local animal shelter?

>>21575563
Im 40 and divorced with 2 kids the younger one is the only reason I breathe. I fucked up and went to art school. Dont do stupid shit. Those mother fuckers are right. Take that shit by the horns. Dont become me. Have great kids, though. If nothing else im a good father. Do that, but better.

>>21569549 (OP)
Sip it. Put an ice cube in a glass and put two fingers of vodka in there.
>but it's hard liquor
You don't drink hard liquor like you drink kool-aid. You sip it into the front of your mouth, right where your tongue and front teeth touch, and keep it in that cradle there where you taste it. Then you swallow fast and it doesn't give you that unpleasant sinus tingling.

>>21575595
Thanks anon. Its nice to hear sometime
I'll never let my kids saybtheirnfather would rather die than be their dad. Little one had her first day back to school and has been in a mood since she got home. Gotta figure out how to feed her. Thinking not vodka... =P

>no grey goose if you don't get loose
a good excuse for girls to get drunk at your party

when i was living with ukranian tweakers we drank sobieski straight out of the bottle, i thought luksusowa was better but sobieski was convenient. come to find out pinnacle makes a very clean and swallowable bottom shelf vodka, meth and vodka + a pack of cigarettes per attendee makes for a very comfy gathering (three people max, any more than that you'll start getting paranoid). something about being scared fuckless for no reason with close friends really puts you in a place youd be happy to die in

>Grey Goose

My opinion of this vodka is that it does not make me hungover, thus it is good. I like it cold, by itself in a glass which I then sip

>>21569549 (OP)

Kilju is exit level

If you value any other taste than raw alcohol you shouldn't be drinking vodka. Such poor fare compared to anything else with similar alc %.

>>21577153
>you can't enjoy this thing if you also enjoy other things
Kill yourself retard. I mean it.

>>21577160
I never said you couldn't, you simply shouldn't because otherwise you're a slave to the taste of raw strong alcohol.

>>21577169
All that retarded bullshit you just typed makes me think you haven't killed yourself yet. Get on that.

>>21577175
You sound like you need a drink so you can get on with killing yourself slowly.

>>21577153
I like the flavor of good vodka, it's subtle and yes doesn't cover the taste of alcohol as much as other spirits, but it's good. If you take a sip of everclear you're not really tasting anything but heat anyway

>>21577198
Vodka is literally ethanol and water and any impurities or flavorings added to it is a departure from actual vodka. It's literally intended to have no flavor other than that of ethanol, so it can be mixed into drinks without changing the flavor profile. You have no idea what you're doing if you're drinking straight vodka for flavor.

>>21577206
areas with vodka distilling traditions where it's taken straight have a different approach than what they must teach in bartender school or wherever the idea that vodka is meant to be watered down everclear came from

vodka experts, opinions on tito’s? it’s the only vodka i’ve tried and was fucking vile, but i thought it was considered fairly good. if it is, i know i just don’t like vodka, but if it’s not maybe i’ll try something a little better and see if i can handle that

>>21577269
I'd call it subpar for sure, I'm not sure why it's as popular as it is. I remember seeing an aerial picture of their plant, with the note that there are no distilling tanks visible, they just buy grain alcohol by the drum, dilute it and put it in a nice bottle lol

I only drink premium vodka when it's being served, because I'll spend on cognac, whiskey, or aged rums first. But you should try Grey Goose chilled to see if you like it. Then make some vodka cocktails if you don't like it straight.

Vodka cocktails that don't suck: Moscow mules, bloody marys, white/black russians. Once in a while I like to freeze an energy drink (I like Rockstar) in an ice tray and blend it with vodka for that trashy casual dining vibe. Good for movie night with artichoke dip, buffalo wings, potato skins...

How do you know Absolut didn't pay for that video btw? It's mentioned several times throughout as an example of a "real" "premium vodka".

>>21570675

>>21577269
Like other anon said, sub par. Fine for a cocktail when youre out, I suppose. Maybe like smirnoff level. Better than new Amsterdam

>>21577272
>>21577935
alrighty then anons, maybe i’ll try better vodka one day then. i was gonna say i’d get some kirkland brand, but apparently it’s not actually re-labeled grey goose and that was just a myth

>>21578282
If you thought Tito's was vile then you're probably not gonna like any of the other ones. None of them go down smooth or taste good, but some are more tolerable than others. I drink vodka often and have tried a lot of them. The biggest difference you'll notice is between bottom and mid-shelf, or between mid-shelf. Whereas the differences up from mid-shelf are minor and often imperceptible if compared to a good mid-shelf. But all these differences are within a very narrow range. You'll never taste 2 vodkas and think there's a huge difference like you might with other spirits.

>>21569572
Obviously he is 21?

>>21578327
damn, guess if i bother drinking again i’ll ignore the “you should drink it straight or on the rocks” posters and just mix mid tier vodka with shit i actually enjoy drinking. the nail polish remover taste is just not worth it for me

>>21578354
>nail polish remover taste
That's gin. Tanqueray to be specific

>>21574220
>>21576284
Both of those sound very tasty.
>>21577269
Tito's is considered good by trashy people. Anyone I've met with even slight taste considered it the floor of acceptability.
My personal go to for vodka is reyka.
>>21574883
I only had ciroq once, when I was already drunk, but I remember it being pretty darn good at the time.
>>21578282
I do like the kirkland french vodka, but I think that's the alcoholic in me talking. The number one key to vodka is making it cold as possible. The optimal temperature for drinking is -25.

>>21578359
idk, maybe it’s worse with gin, but every time i’ve taken a shot of vodka it tastes almost exactly how nail polish remover smells

>>21578398
I think it's more hand sanitizer personally

>>21577245
>>21577247
I take it that was all yap, then.

Throw it in the freezer and do a shot between beers.

>>21578398
>>21578411
Both you guys. Go get a nip of tanqueray today. You will see.
Vodka smelling like a cleaning agent is whatever, alcohol is used in some, makes sense. But tanqueray (gin has a range and beefeater tastes different) and these counter cleaning wipes at work both real of acetone more than anything else
Um.. to not waste it, some soda, st Germaine and little squeeze of lemon is coo

No, it's rooted in a disgust at how inebriation is often synonymous with celebration in Western culture, and a belief that intoxication should not be culturally tolerated.

Its overpriced, sucks and has misleading advertising, handmade is a nonsense term. It's popular with middle aged white suburban women and their college aged offspring because that's all they know. Get TLC for half the price, similar product. Upper end vodka does get noticeably better, Belvedere is probably the best I've tried so far but I only buy vodka for mixing to get drunk at this point in life.
