I actually just had a glass of Rachmaninoff and I do take back what I said, it's honestly just plain alcohol burn and not much else. It doesn't have the foul liquorice taste that a lot of shittier antifreeze vodkas have.

You've gotta use strong flavors to mask the vodka. I used to use fruit-flavored drink mixes plus lemon juice back in college. Sour works really well if you like sour like I do.

Ok pro cheapo drinking tip anons, if you are going to regularly drink cheap vodka, invest in a bargin Brita pitcher and filter, run the vodka through that 2-4 times and it will take some of that shitty edge off of it. Unless that's what you enjoy.

Many years ago I went to my mom's friends house who was about 50 years old. She looked and acted like the old lady from the movie "Throw Mama From A Train," and always drank kamchatka with orange crush. She lived on her deceased police officer ex husband's pension in a very small town. I was in my 20s and had just moved into down after being turbocucked by my kids mom and my self esteem was at an all time low. We were drinking that and I remember being so fucking hammered but in a pleasant way yet I was actually thinking about I'm going to hook up with her. Next thing I know, I wake up at mom's and had somehow driven home and crashed into the garage door in blackout mode. From there on out, this woman hated me and I would get pulled over by cops in this shitty podunk town for no reason other than they knew what car I drove. To this day I still have no clue what happened after I blacked out, but I learned that kamchatka and orange crush is the absolute devil. Never touched it again.
