Spec me a £30 Vodka

Quite a diplomatic response. I would liken mixing Grey Goose and Red Bull to buying a castle and painting it with one's own faeces.
Mixing Grey Goose at all! Schoolboy error.
Get whichever is cheapest from:
Grey Goose
Belvedere
Boru
Beluga
Stolichnaya Elit
Wyborowa Exquisite
You won't go far wrong.
Your problem there comes from the fact that you're mixing actual premium vodka (snow queen) with Absolut and Smirnoff.

Well it makes a very tasty drink and it is impossible to purchase lanique Orange vodka in UK, unless ordering online. Stolichnaya orange is hard to find also.
Putting a bottle of either in the freezer for vodka shots is of course the preffered method of consumption

I think you mean Stolichnaya Cristall; you can't get Elit for £30.

Good call. Got into that when over in NZ back in 2005.
I will not deny that. It was a kind of impromptu tasting session tbh.
Next one is planned and will have another two premiums included as well, plus a supermarket own brand thrown in.
I still stand by what I said though, I have tried many vodkas over the years. Am an English born Scandinavian. Snow Queen is still the best I have tried.
I bought a very nice bottle of Icelandic Vodka last Christmas from Oddbins(RIP)
There are a few around that price range that are nice, I'm a Goose man myself, but they are all nice, leagues above Smirnoff/Absolut.
That said, this is the nicest stuff I have ever had, so smooth even neat at room temperature! The £30 range still needs to be nice and cold for neat drinking.

£140 for a bottle of vodka? This is not malt whisky
It's seriously good! Not good enough for me to spend that much on, but if I earned more I would, and would never turn down an offer of some.
I might try some next time I'm out but I'm not splunking that amount on a bottle of vodka with my firstborn due, our lass would castrate me
[edit]My current list of tipples. There's two bottles of Smirniff black there, one normal and one copper pot still. THey were both bought as presents.
Drinks cabinet:
I'm not a gin fan really, but when our lass can drink again the Gordon's will become Bombay Sapphire

Its a hard one this i think, i have some decent vodka's but i think my actual favorite for drinking is Green Mark Vodka and its not even that expensive, just a nice taste i think.
