I tried some regular Mohawk Vodka a week ago - cheap stuff, 375ml for $4 - and I actually kinda liked the taste of it. Even by itself. Plus, no hangover.

Qualifier for above statement: My sense of taste was never that strong. You may hate it.

Second qualifier: I very rarely get hangovers, even when I forget to drink water and get wasted. And even with the rarelies, there was never a headache.

Come to think of it, this reply may not be all that helpful.

Here's the forum on the Mythbusters website - has a thread about filtering cheap vodka. The show's conclusion was it can taste better but not as good as top shelf vodka.

http://community.discovery.com/eve/f...6/m/1391989528

If you mix it, it really doesn't matter. I normally drink it over the rocks and can tell a difference between some brands. But only on the first two drinks.

:edit:

After reading the thread I just cited, who knows what the hell was proven! Dang, they are all over the place on this one.

never been a big fan of vodka myself, more of a beer guy, but if i were to recommend i would go with absolut, though i find it hard to believe that if you are going to get shnockered on vodka you wont wake up with a hangover anyway. but at least you got your hangover from quality vodka.

Threadjack ahead.
Some time ago, a former co-worker, shared some top-shelf, russian potato vodka. You can see that most common vodkas are made with grain. (I spent
about 20mins, looking through the selection at a local store, with lots of vodka.) I have seen a few which appear to be actual potato vodkas, but have not seen one I have liked. At the price of better vodkas, I dont really want to have to buy shitty vodka in pretty bottles, to find a good one.
I spent WAY too much on some Glacier,(rubbing alcohol)"vodka". Total suck!!!!
Any way, anyone check the label lately on their favorite vodka? Grain or Potato?

There are actually two components of a hangover:

Dehydration and impurities.
The dehydration hangovers usually happen when you drink beer. In those cases, drinking a Gatorade before bed (if possible also a multivitamin) will help immensely.

However, if you drink red wine and get drunk, a nasty hangover will probably ensue. Same for darker liquors. This is the impurities that are in the liquor. No avoiding that (except more expensive liquors).

I must be drinking good wine and scotch because it always works for me. I haven't experienced a hangover in years using this method! Either that or I'm just lucky!!

Well i have to tell you all that you need to try One-O-One Vodka. Especially if your an Absolute Fan, eww There's nothing smooth about a vodka that smells like rubbing alcohol. But if your a high end Vodka drinker especially a woman like me who likes there Vodka smooth, without that disgusting Vodka taste, and no hangover hangover, I recommend 1.0.1 VODKA. Yeah, its the only Vodka on the market that calls themselves the NO HANGOVER VODKA. I don't know about this claim for everyone but I've been drinking it for the last 2 years and I can agree with it!!!! Plus, its better than Grey Goose and like $10 cheaper.

There's really only two vodka's worth drinking and that's Ketal One and Chopin.

Cheap vodkas are cheap for a reason. Quality over quantity..

Dubra is terrible, Popov is a margin of a step up in price (costs $1 more or less usually) and is considerably better, though still terrible. Smirnoff is a fairly good vodka for the price, though the flavored Smirnoff vodkas can give you a hangover even if you don't get drunk.
As far as higher end vodkas, my favorite would be Jewel of Russia, it is smooth and has a very pure flavor, less expensive than Goose/Belvedere and other higher end vodkas.

I agree with you but if you have a chance try 1.0.1 Vodka. It's an Ultra premium Vodka without the ultra premium price. I've tried Ketel and Chopin, i'll take both over goose but 1.0.1 vodka over Ketel and Chopin.

I never get a hangeover from vodka. I feel like shit the next day if I even approach tipsy with red wine, and we usually get pretty good wine.

A fun Brita tip, if you like flavored vodka, throw your favorite spice of fruit in the top before inserting the vodka. Cold weather+red pepper flakes+vodka=yum. But have a chaser ready.

I once got a 40 pounder of Fleischman's Vodka from the duty free at Niagara Falls. $9.00 Canadian. Never knew they made vodka. then again, I never bought another bottle. It's been Belvedere for me lately.

To answer the OP's inquiry, there's a cheaper-than-smirnof vodka out there called Viking Fjord. Handles are like 18 bucks, and it's actually tastier and smoother than Smirnoff red label could ever hope to be.
