I'm generally curious, what's the vodka attraction? I'm a whisky man myself, and while I sometimes venture into tequilla or rum territory, I've always thought vodka a little foul, close behind gin as the worst of the big spirits. Do you mix it? If so, with what?

PS - I did have some good times a long time ago with vodka and cranberry juice. Does that make me gay? Again, not a huge vodka fan, so I wouldn't know. Is that like putting sauce on a steak?

We had cranberry juice and vodka tonight. First time that I can remember drinking it that way. It's a dangerous drink for girls in the way that cherry soju doesn't taste like it has any soju in it. Made a pitcher of it, and we watched Batman Begins. Finished the pitcher before the movie. Still wondering where that half-bottle of Absolut went. Tasted like non-alcoholic punch.

Vodka is good with orange juice, cranberry juice,... Don't think it's good with soda unless it were a lemon and/or lime soda. Vodka and lemon is good. I think the lemon at the bar is some sort of special lemon juice. Can't remember. I was buying vodka and cranberries for the woman staff at a small bar I was going to. That can run pretty expensive though.

I don't really drink vodka that much. One time, in Taiwan, I drank a whole bottle at a bar and had a huge headache the next day. The next time I got a headache from drinking was from mixing soju and beer and drinking yet another bottle of vodka my co-teacher had on separate occasions.

Other than that, I never get headaches. I'm a whiskey man myself (rye whiskey) as far as hard alcohol goes.

I'm what you'd classify as a beer drinker and I'm in the wrong country for that unless you want to spend a ton on imported beer.

Fun conversation. I like soju, beer, tequila in that order.
In college, my frat bros & I drank Crown Royal a lot. '72 vintage.
Don't think the Crown ever froZe.

can't beat a gin and tonic...give me a mug and a straw and i'm good to go...

vodka is the second drink of choice...not girlied up, just with a chaser of
some sort

beer is just too much to drink to get drunk, (guess because i'm a girl and honestly can't chug it like a guy)but in and of itself, definitely not terrible (umm excluding all cheap korean beers with the exception of maybe a really cold capri)

don't hate soju either...and don't get hangovers from it

[quote="jacl"]Why keep it in the freezer in the first place?[/quote]

i dont know why but keeping vodka in the freezer is just the done thing (we do it in nz) and if its real vodka then it should not freeze and how would it last a 1year!!!???

i think it needs to be reincarnated as vodka jellies!!!

I dislike/hate all hard liquor. The only way I drink any of them is mixed. Straight tequila, for example, is disgusting, but a well-made margarita is the best drink ever concocted. (The margarita, btw, was created in calfiornia, not Mexico.) I drink beer for reasons of economics, but prefer wine generally. Actually, the economics thing doesn't really worl given that I hate piss beer, i.e., typical beer. Wheat, micro brew, stout.... ah...

Qinella, looks like you may have your answer: great freezer and low proof? Maybe turn down your freezer to the next setting or buy better booze.

[Tiberious aka Sparkles]

Q,

From where did you buy the bottle? Maybe it's counterfeit.

Absolut has both 100 and 80 proof. Which one did you have that froze?
Great ad campaign. I've collected the ads for years.
