I want to make a white russian, but have neither vodka nor coffee liqueur. I have up to $60 to spend, what brands should I get? I would like to have a vodka that is good enough to sip later, as well.

Smirnoff and Kahlua.

All I ever see for coffee liqueur is kahlua, are any of the other brands any good?

Starbucks is awesome if they still make it. It's a little strong, espresso flavor I think, but it's good.

Walmart sells a handle of vodka for $10 if you want your money's worth. I don't like Grey Goose and I feel anyone that says it's great is pretentious and young. I love Level Vodka I think it's great, but Beefeater will do too.

The vodka you want is Stoli's. Great in a white russian and excellent to sip!

>> No.4538320

Stoli is good, if you're gonna sip get Stoli Vanilla. Great for White Russian's too.

Why buy vodka with such limited uses? Normal vodka can be used in hundreds of different drinks. Vanilla vodka is only useful in a very few, and frankly those aren't very popular. Normal vodka would be a much better choice. If you want vanilla flavor then just use a little vanilla extract, that way you don't end up with a big bottle of nearly useless vanilla vodka.

Make a blind russian instead fagit.

Use russian standard vodka, Kalhua (Or even better motherfucking borghetti) and irish cream liquer. You won't regret it.

May I recommend a dark rum instead of a vodka. A white cuban (as it is known) tastes much richer to me.

Go for Russian Standard Vodka. If it's going to be a proper White Russian, it should at least have proper Russian vodka in it.

100% agree with this anon. Stoli's flavored vodka tastes a little better than most brands, but it still seems kind of pointless to me.

Plain vodka is great, and it also has so much more utility in cases where you do need something flavored. Vodka is ridiculously easy to mix or infuse with ingredients yourself (since it's so mild), and it will taste way better than store bought flavored vodka.

>> No.4538834

why the fuck would you sip vodka? for it's lack of flavor?

you are supposed to just down it, ask any slav.

Tito's. Trust me on this. It's not that expensive (~$30) and everyone I know who has tried it unanimously agrees that it's amazing. I've had more than one experience at a bar where I've ordered a drink with Tito's and the bartender has told me that it's their favorite vodka to use. I see it in more and more stores and bars these days, so hopefully it wouldn't be too hard to find somewhere near you.

Again, trust me on this. Great price, and easily one of the best sub-$100 vodkas around.


If you have a Trader Joe's near you and want something cheaper, they usually have a potato vodka.

OP here. by sipping, i simply meant one which would be suitable for drinking straight, as in not-mixed
