What should I be looking for in the taste of a "good" vodka? What
type/brand do you like?

(in very best foghorn leghorn voice): well, now, son err--uhh, you jes'
sit yoself down rat here on this here little stump while i gone give you the
lass' word on them see-through concoctions, doncha know!

your friend may be russian, but either he doesn't know good stuff when
he tastes it, or i have the taste of a russian peasant... (ok, ok, i
know--insert wiseass rejoinder here________________)

i tried luksusova on a couple of occasions and found it overly bland.
while stoli seems "peperry", and absolut has a slight lemon aftertaste,
tater vodka just reminds me of how ethanol alone would taste when touched up
with tonic. all the other designer brands just have more or less of what
seems to be cheap perfume mixed in.
at any rate, it's not rocket science--i just stick with stoli and tonic,
no lime, and just a splash of tonic.
the no lime factor is the deal maker, for me. oh, and the vodka should
be kept in the freezer, of course.
