Whice brand vodka is the best?!
Answers: what makes it better?
Grey Goose, Belvedere, Ketel One, Jean Marc XO Vodka, Chopin - all super premium brands of vodka - what makes them special are the ingredients (what time of starch - potatoes, grain, rice) and how many times the vodka is filtered and distilled -- all giving the vodka a purer taste.
Find the vodka best suited to your needs. If you drinking it mixed into a cocktail with lots of other ingredients - the subtle nuances of the above vodkas would be irrelevant. Go with a mid-priced vodka like Smirnoff, Stoli, Absolut, 3 Olives. The super premiums (like above) are more suited to single ingredient drinks or if you a drinking the vodka up or on the rocks.
Grey Goose!!!
Grey goose is the best but very expensive, a liter is 27.99 where i am from, and at the bars they charge 6 bucks per drink with it. A lesser expensive but very good vodka is the Absolut's. i drink the regular and the citron flavors all the time. And its almost 10 bucks cheaper.
Absolute is really good, but if you want a good cheap one then Burnett's is also good but only if you mix it. It comes in alot of different flavors, Vanilla is my favorite it is good mixed in coke. If you like vanilla coke. Peach is good with cranberry juice. I don't really like the other flavors. Have fun finding your favorite!
In my opinion, the best choice depends on the vodka's use. If you're taking the vodka shots straight, go for Absolut. It is smooth and mellow and works great as a shot vodka. The flavored varieties are all delightful.
If you're mixing for cocktails or frozen drinks, pick a slightly cheaper brand. The flavor of the vodka matters much less if it's mixed into three parts orange juice and some vanilla extract!
It's all about personnal taste but for me Grey Goose is the best, but a nice second is absolute. At least with my taste prefrences.

goose makes ya loose *Grey goose* lol
I LOVE Vodka and prefer GREY GOOSE! It is very smooth.
I must admit to being a bit biased.. I am of Russian decent, so I strongly prefer genuine Russian vodka.
Stolichniya (Stoli's)
Why? Because Vodka is a Russian product and should come from it's native land of origin made by the hands of those who invented and perfected it, not from people who only think they know vokda and are arrogant to believe that they perfected it. Good old fashioned Russian vodka, made by Russians, IN Russia, for the World to enjoy! If it was made someplace else by people who are not even Russian to begin with, they have No Clue, and it is Not Real Vodka.
(Stoli's is best served chilled, not iced... and sipped, unadulterated by flavoring agents, please remember to drink responsibly).
grey goose
absolout. its not too expensive and i love the bottle.
its stolis. but i also like Titos--a vodka 6-times distillled thats, are you ready for this, made in austin, tx. google that.
Clearly a younger (in your 20's crowd answering here) because in blind taste tests The Goose does NOT rank highly at all.
Ketel One is by far the best Vodka EVER, over time if you are willing to look through the history.
Ask any bartender that is at least 30 and they'll tell you Ketel 1 over Goose anyday.
Nuff said.
Grey Goose
