Vodka Challenge

long story short - bet a dealer that he couldn't taste the difference between three different grades of vodka. Well, Smirnof, Kettle One. He failed. After a point, you are paying for a word on the label, not a better booze.

If it were hot I could tell the difference between big names and rail....probably not so much when cold. I can tell the difference between Admiral Nelson and Captain Morgan, but when it's mixed with something, who fuggin cares? I'd rather save the $10 a bottle.

Yea, the Admiral gets me just as wasted as Captain, but with a much lower cover charge!

the only reason I shared this bet was to encourage the purchasing of cheaper vodka... Grey Goose, Belvedere, ect ect are pointless.

I don't really think so. Smirinoff tastes/smells more like rubbing alcohol. When Grey Goose and Belvedere don't have either that rubbing alcohol taste and smell.

Grey Goose is the only vodka I drink. It's smooth, crisp, and pretty refreshing.

I have before. It is worth spending the money on a better brand vs something more obvious. But! There is one "cheap" vodka I'd drink. That's UV. It's as cheap as Smirnoff or cheaper. But tastes just as good as Grey Goose. Svedka is another very good choice. You can get a 1.75 for the price of a 750 of Grey Goose/Belvedere.

I have to agree, Grey Goose has a much better taste than say...Smirnoff Triple Distilled with the gray label.


Grey Goose and Orange Juice FTMFW!

Try it with Simply Limeade. It's prime.

No way! Not all liquor is the same. Smirnoff and Grey Goose is hugely different.
