On a related note, why is it that I get a hangover with just 2 martinis?

LOL! I guess I'm not drinking as much vodka as I used to but now that summer is here that'll be changing.

I recently had a Titos handmade vodka which was excellent. I always saw the bottle in the liquor store and thought it was a crappy brand, but its actually very, very good. I love everything else about Austin, TX, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised about Titos!

I'm not much of a spirits person and mostly drink beer, however when it comes to vodka I always find myself drawn to potato vodkas like Chopin. Belvedere is my fall back if they don't have any potato vodkas, I can't really tell you why I like it, maybe because it's Polish?

Luksusawa, a Polish potato vodka, is our house brand. I brought Mr. Fox a bottle of Grey Goose once and he didn't like it nearly as much.

From Sweden

I'm a fan of Absolut, straight from the freezer at 0 degrees F.
Anyone else?

1. Chopin (but the stuff in the states is not as good as in Poland)
2. Żołądkowa gorzka- really good and I haven't tried the mint flavor yet but am quite intrigued by the idea
3. Żubrówka
4. Wiśniówka cherry
5. Krupnick honey

Belvedere isn't bad either.

Vodka is all I drink in the hard stuff !!

In order of preferance:

Ciroq and tonic (not one post had mentioned Ciroq)
Ketel One and tonic

If they have neither, I will succumb to Grey Goose and tonic !

And here's another vote for Russkij Standart Platinum. Great stuff!


I've currently got a bottle of 42 Below 'Kiwi' living in my freezer ... although I'm still puzzled at how they squish a kiwi (flightless native bird of New Zealand) into the neck of the bottle. Anyway, it's delicious.

And best of all, I got it in Korea ... thank you Intercontinental Seoul
