vodka and tonic water for me, I don't like vodka with soda, the fizz ruins the taste IMO. Now C. Morgan and coke(the soda) is another story. But if you are going to mix vodka with anything other than tonic water, use the cheap stuff, you won't be able to taste the difference, and it will save you a penny or two. If you like to drink flavored vodkas straight on ice, you can make your own which I think tastes better than what you can buy anyway. Just do a google on how to do it.

P.S. Be careful drinking vodka and Red Bull, it is very easy to overdose on caffiene while drinking it. It is actually a quite common occurance, especially if you drink coffee, tea and soda throughout the day.

Not at all. It might be good compared to Heaven Hill or the 5o, but it's garbage compared to a lot of other not much more expensive vodkas.

You've got the right idea.:thumbsup:

Damn right.

Sprite goes well with the apple Vodka. Pepsi is not that great though.

BTW Skyy might be good, and same with Smirnoff, but once you try Grey Goose you can't turn back.

Anyone ever do cheap vodka + water filter? I did it before I tossed the filter. It becomes more smooth, but the taste gets dulled a bit.

I do at times. Straight shots are great, but othertimes cocktails are fun. When you have southern comfort vodka and coconut rum, you gotta make s omething.

I personally can't stand Skyy; I hate it more than Absolut, which is difficult to do.

Of those choices, I'd probably go with 7UP if you want to mix. But the best solution would be to chill it, shoot it, and chase it with what you have, like someone else already suggested.
