    its tough to tell when its mixed but as you go through the night you can definitely tell based on how tipsy you are and the feel. when you drink the cheap shit you know a few hours later, you can feel that you drank the cheap shit, there is that down time at the end of the night if you know what i mean. when you drink the good shit you don't have that down time and it doesn't fukk with yoru stomach

      Does Costco even make a Kirkland Vodka ?

      I always enjoy seeing you, in Vegas, MR. Leisure.

      I always mix vodka, not a shot guy.

      My brand is "Dubra" $11.99 for 1.75 L or less

      I don't skimp on the pineapple juice....only Dole , Pineapple is a very under-rated juice !

      1 part Dubra ( or any vodka) to 3 parts of juice/ Gatorade makes a nice stiff 10% alcoholic drink, stronger ( by 2X) of typical beers.

      I can't tell much diff between the stuff that costs 3X the price.

      I prefer GCA ( Genessee cream ale) at $13.99 ( or less) for a 30 pack to Bud at $21.99 but that is local to the NY area.

      I guess if you're gonna mix it, use the well stuff !

      At least some agree with me that it doesn't much matter when mixed !

      TY

          makes me wonder if a bar owner could just fill up all the high-end , top shelf vodka bottles with the cheap shit instead. I worked at a bar for a year, BTW. The owner did fill 1 liter bottles from 1.75 l bottles with the right stuff. A shot guy would be able to tell rot-gut vodka from Stoli, or JD, Crown, etc. from Kirkland, though ! same with tequila....an aficianoda knows Cuervo 1800 from well SHIT. Mix it and it doesn't taste much different. I had a customer that drank well tequila mixed with Pepsi....that's just nasty !

              If you really like vodka and you live in NYC- Mari Vanna (Flatiron Dstr) near Union Sq. is the place to be.

                  doesn't mean it's made to the same specs though !

                        I love me some white liqour.

                        If you wanna be a cheap muthafuk, buy Svedka 10.99 for a phat bottle. 13.99 for the huge bottle. It taste pretty decent to me too

                        If you want to feel like you drinkin RUBBING ALCOHOL, then buy CIROC. I was at the club didnt think twice gulped the whole cup of CIROC unmixed and was bouncing my ass from side to side 5 min later.

                        My personal favorite, I dont care what you say Goose is the shit. I rarely take shots since my objective when drinking is to enjoy my night not to get FUKIN UBER WASTED. But I find that I could take Goose shots. Thats the only vodka that I could take as a shot.

                        Everything else I havent had. I rarely drink since im 20 but ocassionally get twisted. Shit I already smoke Twamp Sacks and Gamble adding Alcoholism to my list of vices wouldnt be a wise move at this point in my life.

                          Mixed...very unlikely....the stuff is just alcohol and water and the impurities (flavor) is nearly imperceptible. I have this conversation with vodka drinkers all the time. Mid level stuff is the best. It has to at least be in a glass bottle. Plastic DOES matter.

                            I stay away from plastic bottles. Fortunately for me, the Tito's maker is a personal friend.

                                Does plastic really make a difference ?

                                It screams cheap, but does it really matter on a practical level, like from a chemist's POV ?

                                I've heard wine boxes are actually superior to glass bottles with corks.

                                It might all be tradition ?

                                    that's what I'm saying. I can't tell the difference mixing vodka based drinks and I don't do shots. Dubra, Crystal palace, Osco, Kirkland, whatever well vodka works for me.

                                    Beer is different Milwaukee's best or Meisterbrau best just ain't Beck's.

                                    I drink vodka basically because I'm an alkie, but I mix it since I'm not a shooter. I'm drinking Vatorade ( 3-4 parts Gatorade to 1 part Dubra Vodka right now.

                                            Mix your favorite vodka of choice with Passion Orange Guava juice (made by Bolthouse Farms) and you be a very happy person.
