Good Vodka is so smooth, it's nearly tasteless. It's also pricey. Any of your mid-grade Vodka's are pretty good if chilled (Stoli's, Finlandia, etc.)

You're not going to get a real smooth shot until you get up to the Grey Goose level though.


I'll tell you though, I feel that higher-end spirits should be drunk straight or over ice. If you're going to mix it, just go with the cheap stuff. You really can't tell much of a difference in most mixed drinks.
