I was down in SOBE a few months ago and came across Ciroc Coconut vodka in a martini. I tried it straight up and it was really good. I would definitely recommend it. I also like pineapple-infused vodka that is housemade in Mortons/Capital Grille.

Absolut Peach and Raspberry for me. ^

Flavoured .... but not in the flavour addition sense.

Just tried Chase Vodka. Made by the man who started Tyrrells crisps in the UK. He distils from scratch (nothing bought in) from potato which he grows himself.

The most exquisite Vodka I've tasted particularly straight from the freezer into frozen glasses.

Vanilla vodka is actually really good when added to a bottle of premium root beer such as Stewarts.

For those passing through Denver looking for an interesting vodka experience, check out Red Square Bistro downtown.

Orange flavored Grey Goose is great!

I really like the Aboslute flavored vodkas. I mainly drink Absolute Raspberri and soda....that's almost a "diet" drink since it has only 70 calories - but they go down pretty fast! I like it because they've kept the Raspberri slightly bitter. Of the ones I've tried with soda, my preference is: Raspberri, Peach, Vanilla, Mandarin, Pear.... I haven't had the opportunity to try others, they aren't stocked so often in Thailand bars. You'd think Mango...but no.

I will say that I don't care mcuh for the Smirnoff flavors I've tried. The raspberry is way too sweet and the cranberry is okay, but a splash of cranberry in the soda and straight vodka is better. Ironically, I think I prefer the non-flavored Smirnoff to Absolute, but for the flavors it's no contest.

Horseradish vodka

WI product, EXTREMELY tasty in Bloody Marys. I am not a straight-up vodka drinker, but I've read and been told it's quite good straight up as well.

There is a Russian Vodka bar in Denver known as Red Square. They flavor infuse a lot of their own vodkas. While some of their mixed drinks are great, we usually do them with straight shots and dill pickles as a chaser. Absolutely fantastic (and intoxicating experience).

Oh yeah, their food is good too...

If you happen to be in DEN, i recommend checking it out.

Bought a bottle of Bacon flavoured vodka in Atlanta the other week, I have a picture of it if anybody is very intrigued

3 Olives crosses the line with some of their vodka flavours; Bubble Gum anyone?

Absolut now has a Spike Lee edition, which I think has hints of apple. It is called Absolut Brooklyn

I guess I'm just not an educated vodka drinker. In a mixed drink (which is how I drink vodka on the occasions I do have it), I can't tell the difference.

On hand I have a 1l bottle of Grey Goose I picked up cheap at Duty Free, and Crystal Head vodka, a Canadian vodka that comes in a nifty crystal skull shaped bottle - I bought that one for the fantastic bottle and the furor it caused when the LCBO yanked it from the shelves.
