What are everyone's favorite vodkas? (If anyone here drinks it.) And how do you like it?

I like Stolichnaya. Drinking it now neat. Good, clean, authentic stuff.

drunken

I mostly drink Smirnoff--tastes just fine, mixes well, and the price is always right. If it's an occasion for drinking ice-cold shots, I'll splurge on Tito's Handmade Vodka, made down in Texas.

(During Passover, when fermented grain is forbidden, I like Luksusowa potato vodka... it's different from a grain spirit, but very nice.)

I've never had Smirnoff Red, but I've tried the 3x Distilled (Blue label). Just doesn't taste or smell nearly as clean to me as Stoli, in fact a lot worse. I got (what I'm pretty sure is) a 350ml bottle for $10, and Smirnoff blue was $6ish for 200ml. I'd recommend it if you're ever in the mood for changing things up.

I don't drink that much vodka but I have always enjoyed Luksusowa, it is a good one and a great value.

I would go with Grey Goose or Ketel One for sipping, and Smirnoff for mixed drinks.

Absolut or Grey Goose.

I like Kettle One or Grey Goose but an interesting vodka for things like vodka tonics is Pearl.

I'd have to go with Belvedere. I like how smooth and buttery it is - my neighbor prefers Grey Goose because he likes the crispness.

Grey Goose for sipping.

For a good price, however, you can't beat Pinnacle. Great for parties, spiking the punch bowl, or just general mixing.

Pinnacle is great for mixing
We (the wife and I) also like Svedka
