And one of the better "cheap" vodkas is Svedka. It's very good.

Svedka's good, but for cheap vodka I've found that Denaka is it's equal for a few bucks less. I'll take either one over Smirnoff or Stoli. Ketel one is good, but once you get up into Grey Goose territory it's just over priced. "It's more expensive, so it must be better, right?"

I am not a big fan of grey goose. I think belvedere is better. But yes, expensive doesn't mean it's better... unless you are talking about strippers, then yes, yes it is better.

Russian Standard. Then Stolichnaya. Russian standard is a winter wheat vodka, I believe.

Grey Goose and Skyy taste like dust to me. Most of the supposed "top shelf" vodkas have unpleasant aftertastes.

Russian Standard tastes clean, refreshing, and neutral. Like Switzerland.

For cheap vodka I like Platinum, it's distilled 7x at the Buffalo Trace distillery in KY using the same water as their bourbon. I think their premium vodka brand is Skyy? I'm poor/cheap so I don't look very high up on the shelf. When I tried Tito's I thought it was excellent.

I don't drink it often, but I like my Vodka mixed with Kahlúa... and occasionally topped off with either milk or some ginger ale. Last bottle I bought was Absolut, when I get the taste for a drink again this winter, I'll try a brand mentioned here.

Mostly I just use it to clean my atomizers (e-cig part). I usually pick up a little airplane bottle of whatever the store has on beer runs.

I'm generally just a beer guy (or Red Stag), but I'll gladly drink anything for the all-loving buzz.

Stephanie is a big fan of many flavored vodkas out there. I'll gladly drink them as well.

Here's a little booze nook I just put in my kitchen wall a few months ago. Yes, it's mostly Pinnacle flavored vodkas. Say what'cha want, some of them are damn tasty!!! There's usually a bottle of Red Stag there as well, but they get emptied pretty frequently! :D

Bottles lined up deliberately for the photo, or a touch of OCD? :)
