Vodka - What do you recommend?
I need to buy a bottle (750ml) of vodka
What do you recommend under $25
This seems to be the one type of alcohol where the packaging really influences the price more than any of the other types of liquor. I know it happens but Vodka is really obnoxious about it.
So to rephrase, whats the best value for a 750 say $25 or less?

I'm not a drinker much at all but kettle one seems to be above average stuff (I can taste a difference that I like over the "other" stuff I've tried)
No idea on price but even if its $40 we aren't going to be breaking the bank for something that isn't swill.

Check for sales as someone usually has a loss leader. I adore Grey Goose. It's really smooth and I can drink it on the rocks which I can't with some others. But if you are going to mix in a cocktail. ...bloody mary, Seabreeze etc I think Smirnoff is perfectly fine.

Well under $25 a litre, MONOPOLOVA, a potato vodka distilled in Vienna, consistent and smooth, with the slightly "rounder" flavor of potato alcohol. TITO'S from Austin, Texas certainly ranks with some of the "Fancy Brands" and isa decent palatable grain alky.
Premium vodkas are substantially over-priced, considering that other than filtration (amount,type and duration) and water source, there's little difference in preparation.

Honestly, depending on your state, for $25 you could even get a handle/1.75L bottle of relatively higher priced imported brands like: Russian Standard, Green Mark, or Stoli.

Costco house brand Kirkland Signature vodka is made by the folks at Grey Goose and half the price of Grey Goose.
Else, I like Ketel One or Tito's. But I'm not much of a vodka drinker. My Russian friends tend to drink Stoli.
