Increase your budget to 30-35 bucks. You should be able to buy Ketel One, Stoli or Grey Goose. Tito's which is smoother, will be a couple of bucks less.
Whatever you do...don't go for the bargain basement $10-$15 bottles. Guaranteed wicked hangover for you and/or guests the next morning. Plus, they will be wondering who bought this cheap ****.;) |

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. Then I can just pour the Kirkland into an empty GG bottle for looks. :p |

Premium vodkas are substantially over-priced, considering that other than filtration (amount,type and duration) and water source, there's little difference in preparation.

Are you sure on Costco and GG? I am all over it if that's true.

I guess i'm not sure what = premium but for this non-drinker there is noticeable difference in something like kettle one vs smirnoff in a mixed drink.

I'm in VA and all liquor is sold in state owned ABC stores (no not the ABC stores that litter HNL LOL)
I don't have a problem going to the $30-35 range but if I can get something reasonable for $25 thats what I'll get I'll check out TMs and CSU's MONOPOLOVA for sure; Did anyone figure out for sure if the Kirkland was made by Grey Goose? I think I'll look at Ketel One as well at least this thread has given me a great starting point thanks I knew I could count on the Omni drinkers to get me started ^ |

I still don't know what the OP's end use is. |
Tito's should be available for well under $25, and my wife swears by it.

I think Smirnoff is perfectly acceptable in a mixed drink.
I'd guess that a few drinks in you could go to whatever but in my 1 drink sitting I can notice the difference. |
stoli elit seemed pretty great originally, but then seemed to become average

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 actually like Smirnoff for my income level. |
