Any mid-shelf glass bottle of vodka is going to be good enough to mix with grape juice. I usually go with Sobieski or Wódka[Vodka] brands, which are both Polish. I imagine Sobieski will start jacking up as they become more popular, similar to Svedka. Khortytsa is a Ukrainian brand that's pretty cheap, but it has an obnoxious top. If you absolutely must have Russian vodka, you're probably going to go for Stolichnaya or Russian Standard. (your Smirnoff isn't going to be made in Russia) It definitely won't be the cheapest, though.

I like to sip it very small amounts at the time, like a tea spoon full.
Best way to try and compare different vodkas (as with other alcohol of course) is to buy two or even three different vodkas and do the testing
with 20-30 seconds time between the sips so you create 'new' saliva in your mouth and of course no food of any kind in between the sips.
Just have good meal before so you don't drink on an empty stomach of course, but you know that already lol
Sometimes I drink that way 1/2 bottle of vodka (I really like Russian Standard especially the Platinum Edition) in the evening and wake up
next morning with no overhang at all, not like after 1/2 bottle of quality brandy or whiskey.
Quality vodka gives you very clean, clear 'tipsy' effect.
Cheap low quality vodka rips your head off and it stinks.
As you know multi distillation of alcohol (vodka,whiskey,brandy and so on) greatly contributes to the quality, but you have to pay extra for that product.

Are you serious you don't know how multi distillation greatly improves quality of alcohol, especially vodka.
Why do you think many vodkas (like for example my fav Russian Standard Regular is distilled 4 times, and Russian Standard PLATINUM is distilled 8 times).
Each time you distill it cost you money in extra labour and you lose liquid volume, but you are gaining much cleaner 'healthier' alcohol.
I suggest you google this topic if you are seriously interested to learn, I can't give you all the scientific-chemical reasoning for it here.

Even tho Russian Standard Regular is already great clean tasting vodka but you can do very interesting comparison.
Buy bottle of RS-Regular and bottle of RS-PLATINUM and sip both of them to taste the difference.
This is a very good opportunity to taste vodka from the same manufacturer but of different scale.
If you compare vodkas from different manufacturers you have many variables involved, but not in this case...because
RS-PLATINUM starts as Regular but is distilled 4 more times and is filtered using silver filters.

The more distillation the less congeners in the vodka. Vodka profile is supposed to be flavorless, odorless (outside of the pure alcohol smell) and tasteless (outside of the pure alcohol taste.)

Basically by distilling it multiple times you are removing impurities.

Vodka that has been filtered and distilled multiple times is objectionably better than single distilled for those reasons.

Liquor is weird in that snobs will tell you that single distilled Scotch aged in a barrel for 20 years is the king of whisky but 10 distilled vodka that is only a month old is the king of vodka.

The congeners in once distilled vodka are no worse than whisky so if you drink whisky while drinking triple distilled vodka due to snobbishness then you are a hypocrite.

Just drink it and have a good time.

Month ago I did side by side sipping tests between Luxusowa potato vodka from Poland and Russian Standard-Regular made from grain.

Sure, Whisky get's it's profile by purposefully adding a shit ton of congeners (impurities) by purposefully putting the liquor in oak barrels and letting them sit to absorb the wood for years.

People drink the liquor infused with those congeners because of the robust and varied taste it imparts to the Liquor. Basically instead of removing the congeners from the original mesh they instead try to enhance the flavor of those impurities by aging it in barrels of wood.

By contrast, Vodka is purposefully distilled and filtered several times to remove all taste. Getting cheap vodka means that they don't take the time/energy/resources to distill it more times or filter it more which leaves it with impurities from the original process of making the Vodka.

Basically, if you are drinking to get fucked up and you have no problem drinking scotch/whisky to do that but then make fun of someone getting cheap vodka then you are a massive fagot. The whisky they are drinking is full of more impurities than the vodka by a wide margin.

tl;dr Just drink what you like. Get super distilled vodka if you are looking to get fucked up with a lower chance of hangover. If you ordinarily don't get hangovers or don't care then it really doesn't matter what kind you get.

$5 Popov will get you just as fucked up as Grey Goose. The only difference is Grey Goose is less likely to give you a hangover because of the removal process for impurities.

My thinking is that drinking cheap vodka is not that vise choice.
Pay bit more and drink (at least mid grade) to make your liver work less under the stress ..and avoid hangovers at the same time.
I was drinking brandies for few years (and vines) but vines started to bore me..and they are heavier on the liver.
Like flavors and taste of brandies but after 1/2 bottle in the evening of mid grade brandy, next morning is not as clear as after mid grade vodka.
As I mentioned in previous posts I really like Russian Standard Reg or Platinum, and after sipping 1/2 bottle in the evening, next morning
I feel fresh and clear, no hangovers.

If I don't feel like sipping straight vodka I like to make hot cocoa drink, just hot water cocoa powder a coconut sugar and generous shot of vodka in the cup.

From Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Standard_(vodka)

Production of the Russian Standard Original is based on a four-tier protocol.
-mashing and fermenting
-distillation and rectification
-filtration and relaxation
-bottling and packaging.
Higher-end products add more purification steps.

Winter grain from Russian steppes are milled and fermented.
The raw spirit is distilled four times for the Original, six times for Platinum, while the Imperia spirit is distilled eight times.
The spirits are blended with water from Lake Ladoga.
The proximity of Lake Ladoga was one of the main reasons for the company's decision to establish its distillery in Saint Petersburg.
The lake's underground sources provide one of the softest waters naturally available.[citation needed]

The product is then filtered four times through charcoal.
Platinum receives two more filtrations through silver and Imperia two more filtrations through quartz from the Ural Mountains.

After final filtration, the spirits spend 48 hours in relaxation tanks, are bottled and packaged.
As vodka contains only water and ethanol, it generally does not mature or age and its shelf life is limited only by packaging.

It's an actual thing that people travel from helsinki to Estonia and buy booze there because it costs half as much.

This isn't available in my state, can someone tell me what it's like and how does it compare to other high proof vodkas like Smirnoff 100?

It's made from corn therefore not for me.
Only vodka I have respect for is made from grain, not even from potatoes.
Tequila or grappa or sljivovica is very OK too in my book.

Enjoy the hangover mixing pure sugar with hard alcohol.
Drink your vodka like a man, chase it with beer.
Take it from me i'm an alcoholic.

If you can taste it in your beverage you mixed, and you keep drinking it, you will die.

If you can't taste it, and you feel like you should be able to, and you keep drinking it, you will die. Don't ever "eyeball" with everclear, measure that shit precisely. But all it is, is ethanol. Vodka in the US still has a flavor, or else brand to brand you'd notice zero difference at the same abv, and that's just not true at all. But Everclear is just pure ass ethanol, as chemically pure as it can be. No stabilizers or anything. It tastes awful, and should never be drunk straight. In my experience, when my cocktails get in the 25% abv range, I stop tasting the everclear, even if I can somewhat detect the drink is alcoholic, it doesn't seem THAT strong. I have a hard time making a cocktail not taste strong as fuck in like a 1:4 vodka to soft mixer ratio.

You'll never make a good cocktail with everclear, if you water it down to 40% abv yourself and use it like a vodka. Smirnoff would actually make a passable martini. IMO everclear is best used for non-consumption based on its properties, like sterilizing surfaces.

>I imagine Sobieski will start jacking up as they become more popular
I started drinking like 5 years ago and Sobieski had won some award for best vodka so I bought it
ain't never changed and neither has the price
I'm super sensitive to alcohol taste and it still goes down pretty smooth even when I'm mixing 50/50 with soda

What kind of autistic retard are you? The impurities in bourbon and scotch are purposeful in order to add good and nuanced flavors. Most vodkas aren't made from the ground up to taste good as a spirit. They're usually created in order to be distilled and thus are intended for repeated distilling. Cheap vodka is usually overproduction or contains extra impurities that distilleries don't want to use in their premium brands so they dont distill it as much and then sell the batches to be marketed as cheap brands. And before you call out cheap "scotch" and (((american whisky))) many of those might as well be vodka since they are often colored and flavored instead of aged properly.

Yes indeed. Cheap as hell and high quality. I keep bottles of grey goose, Belvedere, ciroc and fill them with this and guess what? No one fucking notices. Same with r&r and crown royal. No one can tell the difference except a handful of people, if that. I can throw some popov and a cup of water in a bottle of goose and I’m ballin
