The title is picked up straight from the ad-campaign, not being much of a whisky drinker and just relatively new into the drinking era of my life this is one spirit that I just cannot bear to resist …

The bottle itself looks appealing,and this stuff looks almost as clear as plain water,almost completely odourless and with a sparkly taste,I guess this is one of the best vodka's I've tried so far

Smirnoff vodka (Red label) is triple distilled,filtered 10 times,suprisingly pure (approx 37.5 % alcohol),something that makes it really tough to drink up neat,unless you've had enough experience getting used to it burning up your throat or if your just too drunk to notice it …

As with all vodka's,Smirnoff too gives you a nice warm feeling deep down inside,so whenever it starts raining my roommate Tijo never fails to pull out a bottle of this stuff from somewhere and the two of us go to our smoking square and have a couple of shots together (well in certain cases when it is not available he does take extreme measures to procure it,but thats a different story altogether)

I personally feel its tastes the best when diluted with Sprite or 7up,that brings out a sparkly flavour that I fail to find in other vodka's like White Mischief and Romanov's. Alternate methods include with orange juice,or coconut water (preferably in the shell,according to hearsay), Any other suggestions will be gratefully accepted by me

An interesting way of taking it neat is called the flame shot

• Take a spoon of sugar and pour vodka over it into a glass.
• Light the spoon of sugar and pour the flame into the glass with the sugar
• Stir fast and put out the flame
• Shoot it

• • Be careful while pouring the vodka so that you dont start a fire you can't put out and be careful that you don't burn your hand
  • Disclaimer Don't blame me if anything goes wrong
    

Another interesting way

Add orange tang to vodka (half teaspooon to about 40-50ml).Cut a green chilly into no. of pieces and empty out the seeds, throw in the chilly skin and look at d bubbles coming out. Add some mint (half a polo) and squeeze half a lemon, now burn the whole mix wid a match till some black stuff is floating around…… now GO bottoms up, without ice.

Its generally known as a very versatile drink, making up an important ingridient in many exotic cocktails

If all fails to impress you,do it my roommate Tijo's way,up neat and straight from the bottle,never misses its target and leaves you suprisingly refreshed (and not on planet earth)

However according to my basic research

""Vodka is one of the most neutral of drinks, it is almost the purest form of alcohol that one would get to drink. Most Spirits (like whiskey or brandy) get their flavor and aroma from congeners.

Congeners are almost non-existent in Vodka's and congeners the main culprits when it comes to hang overs and the sickening feelings the day after.

Ideally a Vodka has no after effect … unless you pop in one glass too many""

Unfortunately,being just college students the cost is too prohibitive (being almost double the price of other vodka's) and since most of the time its only the kick we seek,Smirnoff isn't usually on the bar-table (unless I'm feeling extremely rich …)

Other than the cost,one fabulous Vodka,be sure to try it out ..
