I've been a Vodka drinker for many years ( I'm 63). While I've never tried any of the expensive brands ( XO, Ciroc, Chopin etc.), I do love Grey Goose. I don't buy it very often because of the price. Being retired, you sort of feel like you need to be a little frugal. I think Vodkas are kind of like cigars. Different strokes for different folks. To me, considering price and quality, Skyy is my vodka of choice. I usually drink mine straight up, but I keep it in the freezer. I occasionally put a little bit of Olive Juice in, kind of a dirty Martini. I love Bloody Marys, but like MadAl, I don't use a mix. I make my own and always use V-8 instead of tomato juice. The other ingredients, Worcestershire ( Lea&Perrins)
horseradish, Tobasco, lemon juice, and coarse ground black pepper, I don't measure. Just put in what feels right.
