Hangar One made an excellent wasabi vokda a few years back. They say they'll never make it again. The chipotle one is good, but not as good as the wasabi (IMnshO).

Interesting story about Skyy Vodka and how they killed off the flavo(u)rs, sort of.

+1 on the Polish kiss (Żubrówka with apple juice)

I'm a big vodka drinker, sipping or mixing. Of all the different flavored vodkas, Smirnoff Green Apple Twist (not to be confused with the vodka drink Twisted) is always a delight to mix or just sip straight up!

I do like Stoli Stawberry especially since it is used in the cocktail made for, and named after me, in a hotel bar in London.

I have a pasta dish named for me in VCE:)

Although there's no accounting for my taste, I find that the Smirnoff flavo(u)rs are usually pretty offensive.

I find the red colored straight up Smirnoff Vodka putrid. I haven't had many other of those different flavored vodkas to report though.

I don't care for regular Smirnoff (if it is drowned with mixer, that is ok). However, this is a flavored vodka thread. ;)

42 Below has some pretty good flavors, such as feijoa.

Another vote for this, though I mix it with water, a little simple syrup and a lemon wedge garnish. Aside from the nice buzz, you'd swear it was sweet tea.

Another nice summer drink is blueberry vodka mixed with a decent lemonade (Newman's or something similar - NOT a powdered variety). Garnish with a few blueberries and enjoy.

Alaska Distillery makes several including a Smoked Salmon Vodka... tastes like they added liquid smoke- adds another level to a Bloody Merry.

I received a sample bottle of vanilla infused vodka free with purchase at the liquor store yesterday. No idea what I'll do with it, but I'll give it a go someday.

Most flavoured vodkas seem to end up as very sweet mixed drinks, something I don't really enjoy drinking. I'm more of a classic girl, straight single malt scotch or a good (real) gin martini is more my style. The closest I get to today's froufrou cocktails is a manhattan or an old fashioned. Though I do have a soft spot for a good gin & tonic, made with good tonic and fresh squeezed lime juice :)

42 Below Kiwi was quite good... brought several bottles back on my last trip to NZ.

I also *love* Zubrowka with apple juice... when in Poland, I practically live on the stuff.

What else? Someone mentioned Smirnoff flavored vodkas... I think those are for teenagers or college students on a budget. I can't imagine putting that stuff in me.
