I love grey goose. It seems more pure so less hangover in the morning. ive had kettle one, and it's not bad either.

When one of my friends goes to russia, I have her bring me back volka. It middle of the road stuff there, but it's as smooth as water. Makes grey goose taste rough

We buy Luksusowa because my hubby is a diabetic and there is no sugar in it.

Good stuff- Grey Goose is the best for martinis, it's more pure.

Middle of the road- Smirnoff is fine for mixed drinks, not too expensive and not bad at all.

Honorable mention- Svedka (I believe it's called), I had this at a friend's party, and for an inexpensive vodka, we all though it was pretty good.

Vodka distilled from potatoes is fine- some is distilled from Rye- most from Grain.
Findlandia is a real nice Vodka- top shelf at a good price.
Hanger 1 is a great American Vodka. Other great Gins-Boodles British-traditional London dry style- a New Gin- from California 'New Amsterdam' is very citrus tasting- not in the traditional style- its interesting.

I drink my martini's up-with some dry vermouth- chilled cocktail glass-with either olives, twist or onion technically called a 'Gibson'

Grey Goose is my favorite, although it's a rare treat due to the price.
Absolut is usually what i go with.
Svedka? Eh. I'd say it's drinkable.
Belvedere? I think i'd classify it as some people like to waste a lot of $$$$$ in a misplaced pursuit of vanity. JMHO.

There was a brand of gin I found in Georgia back in the seventies, my Army days. For the life of me can't remember the name! Had a white label with raised green lettering on it....remembering there were pine trees on it. Darn stuff smelled and tasted like turpentine and wish I had a pint now. Strictly for medicinal purpose of course.
