Maybe that's the thing, I almost never take shots anymore. Maybe on my birthday, and even then I only really like shots of tequila. I'd much rather relax with a nice scotch on the rocks or a beer than take shot after shot. My aging body just can't drink like I could back in the day.

 

For good quality stuff like GG, it's better to sip than to shoot. You'll enjoy it more that way.

 

This.
The only time I like vodka is when it actually tastes like something, try just doing a double vodka with a squirt of lemon or just a twist, dont try to filter out all the alcohol flavor, enjoy it!

 

Ciroc Red Berry or Sky Pineapple chased with Sprite or 7up. Both can be had for under $20 and tastes a lot smoother than Grey Goose.

For those on a really tight budget, then as someone previously suggested, try Seagram with any sort of iced tea chaser.

 

I like vanilla absolut in my white russian.

 

Those flavored vodkas have less alcohol %

 

Kirkland is where it's at! It's actually drinkable which is impressive. I had my reservations but it was actually good.

 

with so many great distilleries in northern california, i don't understand why people support these large, multinational brands. someone already mentioned hanger 1 in alameda, but there's also a fantastic micro-distillery on treasure island (http://www.sfvodka.com) and charbay in wine country (http://www.charbay.com/). they also make one of the most interesting whiskies i've ever tried, distilled from lagunitas pilsner.

i can think of many other reasons why you shouldn't drink grey goose, but in the end, there's only one...

That's a good first post, welcome.

 

as a full time bartender and part time drunk, i can tell you that if you heard about it in a rap song, it's probably overpriced and overrated.

 

You, I like.

 

Hah! GG suddenly doesn't taste so great...

I'm getting me a Kirkland anyways. I want the taste, not the label... and definitely not the douchebag status.

 

My friend was about to buy another bottle of Ciroc for our Vegas trip, but I said, "Dude, just get Kirkland, it's basically Grey Goose." "..but I just want a nice bottle." "When you're drinking and it's free for the people who stop by, who cares?" He ended up with the Kirkland and we let the good times roll.

 

FINALLY got my *** to Costco. Dang this Kirkland is 1.75L!!! That's bigger than my old Honda engine.
