Still like the Goose, but RS is inching up there in my preference profile.
Ketel One and Chopin are also quite good.
What is your vodka of choice? And how do you order it? Martini-style with a twist/olives? Over rocks?
I gotta go with the Burnetts... lol, maybe not for vodka in a martini, but for a mixing vodka it is cheap and good. A favorite summer cooler: Burnetts Pomegranete and Crystal Light lemonade.
As far as better vodkas? I am a Stoli or Three Olives fan.
My preferred way? In lemon drop form. (chilled, sugared rim, and a slice of lemon and then you shot it.)
