Vodka

I'm of no help, but I can't understand why people like neat vodka, it's the harshest tasting spirit there is in my experience!
 
I quite like Stolichnaya Elit Vodka, very pure, and quiet expensive, at the upper end of your budget. I've not drank Snow Queen myself, but I hear that it's a good Vodka as well.
 
I got some grey goose for Christmas. As good as it was, I still found it a bit brutal drinking it neat. The rest of it went in with coke, what a waste :(.
 
Dont listen to Nitefly, a nice vodka has taste in exactly the same way whisky has taste. It all depends on what you buy and how you drink it.
Traditionally in the UK we use vodka as part of a drink (ie vodka & coke or vodka & orange) which is why we have been supplied crap vodka over the years, we dont need good stuff 'cos we drown it in orange juice anyway.
What I would suggest is buying an average but nice Polish vodka like Wyberowa and drinking it as it should be drunk.
1) Breathe in deeply
2) Swallow the shot
3) Breathe out slowly and deeply.
4) Enjoy the taste (as you breathe out).
5) Take a swig of the glass of juice you have ready next to you.

Since my Polish mates taught me how to drink vodka I haven't looked back. Have plenty of food on hand too, makes for a great sociable evening.

Absolut & Russian Standard are good mid price vodkas too (grudgingly admitted by my Polish mate while we were in Poland last year)
Best I have had is Belvedere Polish vodka, which cost me the princely sum of £25 a couple of years ago in a Polish shop (they call 'em Alkoholes, just stacked to the roof with booze).
Anyways, enjoy the vodka. It's great unless you are drinking it on your own...
 
Just get Russian Standard to be honest. 1 litre was currently in the shops for £12.5 (two for £25) and it's pretty decent, especially since it's probably going with a mixer.

Also bottle is pretty. :o
