Vodka and gin are not interchangeable. One of them is actually good.

In a blind taste test 25 years ago a bunch of food, wine, and vodka experts picked Smirnoff as the best. It went up against the expensive ones, too.

Just means you like rotgut vodka.

Smirnoff Vodka hasn't been Russian since the Russian Revolution.

it means that you are a pretty high class kind of guy- I prefer more popularly priced Russian vodkas, like Nicolai Vodka.

I think it means you're colluding with the British.

JB started with Smirnoff vodka martini, shaken not stirred, but I think the newer Bond drinks Gordon's.

White Tavern vodka is a tremendous American vodka, distilled in the Tremendous Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Highly recommended on youtube, particularly when mixed with Stroh's beer.

The reviewer rates it a 9.5 out of 10 in the popularly priced vodka category.

Although, at the moment I’m drinking a Kirkland Signature Gin from Costco. Mixed with grapefruit juice. i only like it when it’s with a juice, as it tastes too much like Beefeater to me, which I don’t like.

I thought Tanqueray was the gold standard for gin. T&T was my drink of choice back in the day.

I think we're on the verge of hijacking the vodka thread...

Aviation isn't as juniper forward as most gins, it has a distinctive citrus note. Excellent for drinking neat.
