Just the other day I came across and bought a bottle of Canadian Iceberg vodka, which I'd been looking for for some time since I read that it scored very high in some tastings. It boasts that's it's made from the water of a 12,000 year old glacier. Be that as it may, I thought it was excellent.

It was on sale deeply discounted, either because it doesn't have a wide reputation or maybe because it was bottled in plastic liter bottles so it looks like mineral water. Anyway, I thought it was quite a bargain.

I'm a big fan of Kirkland Signature Vodka. The only problem is that the bottle is too big to fit in my freezer.

You just need to make about 2 months' supply of jello shots so you can throw the bottle away.

I was given a new vodka to taste Friday nite at dinner. Never heard of it before:

Jean Marc XO.

It was excellent! I highly recommend trying it.

Zing. Jello shots don't last that long in my house.

Mrs. unagi1 and I both like Ketel One and Tito's, the latter of which I have only found in Trader Joe's in the SF Bay Area.

Vodka, Green Iced Tea, a slice of cucumber, and mint...

makes an excellent summer cocktail!

If you can, I recommend throwing a few slices of cucumber into the vodka and letting it chill for a few hours (I think the "hip" bar term for this is "infusing" ) before making the drink.

Are we talking real green tea here, or some strange North American sweetened concoction?

REAL...as in...the stuff I buy when in Japan at the local am/pm and I know it's green tea not because I can read the box covered in Kanji, but because the box is green.
