Lithium Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I like Vodka.Vodka absolutely sneaks up on me. I can take a ton of it down and think I'm fine, then all of a sudden I'm hammered. It's the strangest thing, but it's been like that for years and years.I'm the same with bourbon, so I stay away from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicrawker Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I don't mind it, but I don't really prefer it to anything. Mid-summer, a big glass of dr pepper, smirnoff, ice and half cherries is awesome. Smirnoff, OJ and 7up is probably the only other vodka drink I'll make. The citrus rockstar vodka's aren't horrible either, but I don't drink them very often.Smirnoff sucks. I got a bottle of it in college, it was so disgusting I couldn't finish it, had to take it to a party so it didn't go to waste.Russian Standard and Pinnacle are my go-to vodkas - Pinnacle more for the flavored vodkas and Russian Standard for a traditional vodka. I've got a bottle of Grey Goose which I save for when smoothness is an important factor, like in a White Russian. And I got a bottle of Crystal Head for Christmas - haven't tried it yet though. If you like Vodka you will love Crystal Head. According to Dan Akroyd it is additive free and, I can attest, it is smooth as silk. comes in a cool as hell bottle as well.And it is distilled in Canadahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Head_Vodka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 ^I bought my dad a bottle of that a couple years ago. I only tried it once and yea, if I were really a vodka drinker that'd probably be what I'd go for. But instead, I stick with Smirnoff and Polar Ice - the cheap shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But vodka on the rocks? - 'that's not a drink', you're better off with shots of vodka.Vodka on the rocks... never heard of such a thing.

Reminds me of when I used to sneak some of my grandad's beer when I was about 5 and I'd be just trying not to grimace at the taste just to look like a big boy.

Snake-Pit Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Drink in peace with Black Death Vodka! This vodka has had a tumultuous history. Developed in 1906 by the Sigurdsson family in Iceland, it stayed outside the spotlight for the next 80 years until Black Death Vodka won the gold medal at the London International Wine and Spirit Competition in 1987. And then came Slash who catapulted Black Death Vodka into stardom. The now US-based spirit is sweet and soft on the palate and comes in an iconic bottle that features the legendary smiling, top-hatted skull.Cool picI don't care if that's JD in his hand.

Not too smooth, not too rough.I had Russian Standard for the first time on my first night in Russia a few years ago - it instantly became my favorite vodka. As soon as I got home from Europe I had to find somewhere to get it over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake-Pit Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'm tempted to go to a bar (my local Wetherspoons) and order a vodka on the rocks, just for the Hell of it, and see what looks (if any) I get.Bad habit, subjecting my body to that just for a 'to see what happens' moment.Am also now tempted to get a vodka with tonic and ice too, while I'm at it.Might go after the gym though.I like Vodka.Add Kahlua and Creme/Milk and it's even better Y'know what, screw it, I'm gonna try and get this on' @ my local Wetherspoons, after the gym.

Facekicker Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 My Polish friends pretty much turn their noses up at the idea of mixing vodka with anything. The stick the bottle in the freezer and then take shots of it chased with apple juice.If you want to try vodka on the rocks it probably is best to do so with something a little better than Smirnoff which is basically shit.I prefer to drink Vodka mixed with soda and a slice of lime. I usually stick with Russian Standard or Belvedere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake-Pit Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Only a certain type of individual gets shitfaced on a Tuesday night The Black Sheep Bar, Croydon's no longer here, but when it was, Tuesday night was one of their big nights, it went Tuesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday... (For their big nights).Gosh that place was cool, other Croydon clubs could suck one but the Black Sheep Bar nightclub was awesome! Just came back, did what I said, went gym, stopped off in the Wetherspoons for a Vodka, Kahlua and Creme/Milk... and they didn't have Kahlua...They had Tia Maria instead, and when I ordered my Vodka, Tia Maria & milk, they said 'a White Russian'... I was like 'Is that what they call it? I'll have one'Had it, was nice, never had it before, I've heard of a White Russian, but never had one until 20 minutes ago, was nice I had a white Russian tonight, and not in the literal sense, this time.Blonde girls are hot.
