I agree with Cribby. Absolut mixes great, I just wouldn't drink it (or any other vodka really) straight, unless I was already hammered and couldn't taste the difference anyway.

You're out of your mind...

I mean I understand if someone doesn't favor it but I'm sure it's not as bad as you described..

heres a question, why would you drink vodka straight in the first place? its pointless. shit tastes the same and produces the same thing; drunkeness. all you pay extra for is the label to look nice when youre sitting in the VIP lounge, or getting your picture taken pouring it in someones mouth.

Honestly, you couldn't pay me to say anything bad about Absolut Vodka. It's my very favorite 'special occasion' alcoholic beverage. Even better than the finest champagne money can buy. LOL

It may be nostalgic or something, but Absolut Vodka is unlike any other drink. It's the fucking drink that has got me 'lucky' with the ladies more than any other drink on the face of the earth. Forget gin being the panty remover for girls, it's all about Absolut Vodka baby!

This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. In her smile, in her soul, the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay. The supermodels, Willy? That's all they are. Bottled promise. Scenes from a brand new day. Hope dancing in stiletto heels.

did you drink it chilled (from the freezer) or at room temp? makes all the difference

I tried it room temperature, slightly chilled, freeze-chilled, straight, on the rocks, on fire, whatever. Nothing can make that substance taste good.

VDub: I figured that my post would have been self-evident as hyperbole, as it doesn't really taste worse than any other kind of vodka. It's just that vodka in general is horrible to drink straight, and maybe I just have an unsophisticated booze palate (seriously doubt that), but I didn't find that Grey Goose improves on it. And the problem with Grey Goose is that it's also too strong to mix, so it's kind of useless to have sitting around. I might end up using it next time I make penne with vodka sauce, see how well it cooks.

If you want to drink liquor "straight" (or just mixed with other liquor) then there are better, cheaper choices. Any liqueur like sambuca or amaretto or if you're desperate for harder stuff, rum or scotch. My personal favourite's always been the B-52. If your objective is just to get trashed as quickly as possible, there's tequila shots or jager bombs. Oh, and in Europe it's all about the grappa. But hell, man, anything's better than straight vodka; it does a better job of cleaning gout than rewarding your taste buds.

I've always thought that a good vodka should have little to no taste.

I'm drinking level vodka right now. Neat. IMO its even smoother than grey goose. Made by the absolut people but twice the price and so worth it!
