The Best Vodkas

Five different bottles of vodka pictured with a martini and a spritzer.

Vodka is one of the world’s most popular spirits, yet very few people in the US seem to fully appreciate it. At least it feels that way.

In our quest to find the best vodkas, we struggled to locate resources, enthusiasts, and specialty bars in this country devoted exclusively to the clear spirit. Even its legal definition leaves little room for romance: Until recently , the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) required any liquor marketed as vodka to be “without distinctive character, aroma, taste, or color.”

But after tasting 15 different vodkas, our testers ended up with a newfound respect for the spirit. Despite this country’s relative lack of fervor for vodka compared with, say, whiskey or gin, we surfaced with a surprisingly diverse selection of favorites. Our picks include a briny vodka that’s great for martinis, a richer option for those with a sweet tooth, and a creamy workhorse vodka that belongs in every home bar.

The research

A creamy, superb all-purpose vodka: kirkland signature american vodka, crisp, classic, and citrusy: smirnoff no. 21 vodka, a salty, unique vodka: pinnacle vodka, a mild, maskable vodka: stolichnaya vodka, a sweet, robust vodka: tito’s handmade vodka, the competition, why you should trust us, how we picked, how we tested, why you shouldn’t pay a lot for vodka (unless you want to), what about gluten-free vodka.

A bottle of Kirkland Signature American Vodka.

Kirkland Signature American Vodka

The unanimous favorite.

This vodka is the cleanest, creamiest, most versatile one we tried.

Buying Options

From our first round of tasting until our last, Kirkland Signature American Vodka was unanimously our favorite of the bunch. If you want a clean, neutral vodka to drink on its own, in cocktails, or subdued with other mixers, this is the bottle we’d recommend.

This vodka has aromas and flavors of citrus and rose that are soft and subtle, not overpowering, and it blends well in just about any cocktail you can mix. It has the silkiest texture of all the vodkas we tried, and it doesn’t lose this exceptional creaminess when diluted. This bottle also lacks the harsh alcohol burn on the nose or palate that makes many vodkas off-putting.

There is one caveat: It comes only in a Costco-size bottle. This vodka is sold in a 1.75-liter bottle, which is more than double the size of a standard, 750-milliliter bottle of liquor. While we believe that this vodka belongs in every home bar, you may have trouble fitting it into your liquor cabinet. The bottle is 14 inches tall, and the only place I can hide it in my house is underneath the kitchen sink.

Base ingredient: corn What we like it in: virtually everything Where it’s made: United States

A bottle of Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka.

Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka

Less creamy but more widely available.

If you can’t get your hands on a bottle of Kirkland Signature American Vodka, Smirnoff’s flagship bottle is the next best thing.

Vodka wasn’t readily available in the US until about a century ago, when Smirnoff arrived and was introduced to the masses, according to The King of Vodka by Linda Himelstein. Smirnoff produced the vodka of choice for Russian royalty, before the Russian Revolution. And it later became the first vodka distillery in the US . Over time, Smirnoff rose to be the world’s best-selling vodka —and a pillar of the popular Moscow mule . After tasting Smirnoff No. 21 Vodka in multiple brand-concealed tests, we can see why its legacy lives on—it’s crisp, clean, and versatile.

This vodka is thinner and less creamy than Kirkland Signature American Vodka . But if that pick is unavailable, or you don’t have access to Costco, Smirnoff is enjoyable on its own or mixed. It has a fresher citrus character than our other picks, yet these notes are understated until coaxed out by other ingredients in sweeter cocktails or sours. This vodka also has nice peppery and vegetal flavors that flourish when paired with a savory martini or a Bloody Mary.

Base ingredient: grain What we like it in: a Bloody Mary, a classic sour, a vodka soda or tonic, a Moscow mule, and a martini garnished with an olive, a twist, or an onion Where it’s made: United States

A bottle of Pinnacle Vodka.

Pinnacle Vodka

Savory, salty, and strange.

This briny vodka is great in savory cocktails, and its strong, salty flavor makes it an interesting (and polarizing) choice.

Right out of the bottle, Pinnacle Vodka tastes remarkably close to a dirty or vermouth-forward martini. It’s salty and savory, with notes of brine, cut grass, and tree nuts. It feels round and warm on the palate, and it provides a pop of black pepper flavor before finishing dry on the tongue.

When we mixed this vodka into a classic sour, we thought its salinity clashed against the other sweet and tart ingredients. But we loved how that flavor worked in its favor in a martini, which we prepared with just vodka and vermouth. (We’d advise caution to all but the biggest salt lovers when using this vodka in a dirty martini.)

Base ingredient: grain What we like it in: a martini garnished with an olive or an onion, a Bloody Mary, a Moscow mule, and a greyhound Where it’s made: distilled in France, bottled in the United States

A bottle of Stolichnaya vodka.

Stolichnaya Vodka

The mildest option.

This mellow vodka is a boozy chameleon—it’s best for those who want to camouflage their alcohol behind other mixers.

If you want to imbibe, but you prefer not to taste a lot of alcohol, Stolichnaya Vodka is mild, neutral, and easily muted. On its own, it finishes quickly and has pleasant notes of cool aloe, fresh lime, and peppery nettles. But when mixed with other ingredients or served over ice, it fades into the background.

Compared with our other picks, this vodka is a bit sharper and thinner in texture, and it melts down significantly when diluted. This one is good for people who like to mask their vodka in highballs or martinis. But Stolichnaya has the propensity to make shaken cocktails too watery—especially drinks like white Russians or espresso martinis, which benefit more from round, creamy vodkas.

Base ingredient: grain What we like it in: a vodka soda or tonic, a screwdriver, a greyhound or salty dog, and a martini garnished with an olive, a twist, or an onion Where it’s made: Latvia

A bottle of Tito’s Handmade Vodka.

Tito’s Handmade Vodka

A sweeter vodka with pronounced character.

This vodka is richer and sweeter than our other picks, so it meshes wonderfully when used in citrusy or savory cocktails.

Compared with our most neutral picks, Tito’s Handmade Vodka will not disappear easily when mixed. Its honey-like sweetness remains potent, and its medium body holds, even when diluted. It tastes best when counterbalanced with tart, saline, or savory ingredients.

Tito’s has a slight alcohol burn, and it leaves some astringency on the palate, which makes it less appealing to sip on than our other picks. But it’s also round, rich, and complex. When we tasted the vodka alone, we detected faint notes of olive and brine, along with pronounced flavors of butterscotch and honey. These disparate flavors worked together wonderfully in martinis garnished with olives or lemon twists, but we found this vodka’s texture and sweetness cloying in our vodka sours. If you prefer your cocktails on the sweeter side, you may enjoy Tito’s in something like a bee’s knees cocktail—which doubles down with the existing honey flavor—or an espresso martini. Otherwise, this vodka adapts better to fresh citrus, carbonation, or savory profiles.

Base ingredient: corn What we like it in: a vodka soda or tonic, a martini garnished with an olive or a lemon twist, a Bloody Mary, a Moscow mule, and a screwdriver Where it’s made: United States

Svedka Vodka made it to our final round of tasting, but it wasn’t as flavorful as our picks. It’s a decent option if you find it for a good price, and it’s mild enough to mesh with most cocktails.

Hangar 1 Vodka has nice flavors of orange citrus, pine, and forest soil. But it was sharper and more bitter than our picks.

We dismissed Absolut Vodka and Belvedere Vodka because both were too hot, with a harsh alcohol burn on the nose and palate. When diluted, they also became watery yet astringent.

Grey Goose Vodka disappeared too much when diluted, but it left behind the unpleasant taste of ethanol.

We dismissed Ketel One Vodka because we found it to be bland, underwhelming, and harsh. It also became too watery when diluted.

Kirkland’s Signature French Vodka was soft, mild, and citrusy. But when we tasted it chilled and with soda, we also picked up an off-putting vinyl flavor.

We found New Amsterdam Vodka to be too thin, bland, and bitter.

On its own, Reyka Vodka was hot, dry, and bitter. When mixed with soda, it practically disappeared, but it left behind a slight alcohol burn.

Our testers described Chopin Potato Vodka as skunky and garlicky, with notes of burnt plastic.

I fell in love with craft cocktails when I started bartending, at 21, and I have since devoted most of my free time to studying beer, wine, and spirits. I’ve worked behind bars in nearly every type of establishment, ranging from high-volume venues and fine-dining restaurants to one of the biggest whiskey bars in the country. I’ve attended more than three-dozen formal trainings and workshops related to beer, wine, sake, amari, and liquor. And I was a judge on the gin panel at the American Distilling Institute’s International Spirits Competition in April 2023.

To conduct research for this guide, I interviewed food scientists, distillers, spirits writers, and judges. I paged through roughly 60 different spirits and cocktail books, and I analyzed beverage market data, foreign and domestic trade regulations, and distillation processes.

For this guide, I tested vodkas along with two all stars from Wirecutter’s kitchen and appliance teams: senior editor Marguerite Preston and senior staff writer Rachel Wharton. They each brought invaluable insight to the guide.

Though the best vodka out there is ultimately the one you enjoy drinking the most, for this guide we focused our research on brands that are widely available at major retailers across the country. We checked the archives of international spirits competitions, including the San Francisco World Spirits Competition , the Global Spirits Masters , and the SIP Awards , to reference their award-winning vodkas from the past few years. And to get a general idea of which vodkas other experts like most, we read through reviews from Liquor.com , Punch , Food Network , and Imbibe magazine .

To learn more about the history and production of vodka, we spoke with Neil Lotz, the master distiller at ReBru Spirits , a distillery in San Diego that converts recycled beer into vodka. We also spoke with David T. Smith, a seasoned spirits writer , consultant, and judge. And we referenced many works, including Vodka: A Global History by Patricia Herlihy, Raising the Bar: A Bottle-by-Bottle Guide to Mixing Masterful Cocktails at Home by Brett Adams and Jacob Grier, and Vodka Distilled: The Modern Mixologist on Vodka and Vodka Cocktails by Tony Abou-Ganim.

We landed on our list of 15 contenders by applying a combination of criteria, including price, popularity, availability, and some personal discretion. Because this guide touches only on well-known brands, we also encourage you to try different vodkas from your local distilleries until you find one you’re happy supporting.

A bunch of different bottles of vodka pictured together.

During the testing process, we wrestled with how to best qualify a “good” vodka. Everyone has different preferences for flavor, body, and practical application, so we judged each vodka by preparing and serving it in a variety of ways. To design and structure a comprehensive tasting plan, we also consulted food scientist Kantha Shelke , as well as authors Dave Arnold and David T. Smith . When tasting each vodka, we considered the following properties (note that this is not an exhaustive list of our assessments):

  • Aroma: Nobody wants to tip a glass toward their face and smell something abrasive. A great vodka should express pleasant or neutral scents—and it should ideally leave out the quintessential rubbing-alcohol smell found in lousy vodkas.
  • Heat: Some people like the burning sensation of alcohol, but we ruled out the vodkas that were overly harsh on the nose or palate at any stage.
  • Texture and viscosity: We evaluated how each vodka felt on the tongue and throat, and we noted whether it was creamy, oily, thin, or viscous in texture. We also tasted each spirit at different temperatures and in various recipes to see whether changes occurred in a vodka’s body when it was diluted.
  • Flavor intensity and complexity: A good vodka will, of course, have good flavor—or, for some people, no flavor at all. We ruled out any vodka that tasted plasticky, antiseptic, or downright off. We favored those that had either prominent or neutral flavor notes, as long as they didn’t thin out too much when diluted.
  • Versatility: To analyze how our picks adapted to the many ways vodka is consumed, we tested each one in a diverse set of recipes. Not all of our picks will work perfectly in every single cocktail, but we carefully made our selection to accommodate a wide range of preferences.

For our initial round of testing, we tasted all 15 vodkas with the brands concealed. We tried each of them on their own at room temperature as well as mixed with club soda, to draw out subtle flavors and aromas. Carbonation and soda water help carry aromas to the nose; they also bring out more-complex flavors by diluting the alcohol, which food-science experts and authors Kantha Shelke and Dave Arnold both confirmed. And we chilled samples of each vodka in the freezer, to taste for any changes in character or texture. We then poured each room-temperature vodka over ice to see how it held up to dilution, and we ruled out any brands we disliked.

After eliminating the vodkas we liked least, we repeated the same testing steps using our finalists. Then we finished by tasting each one mixed as a vodka soda garnished with a lemon wedge. From there, we kept the vodkas that did a good job of maintaining their composition and flavor; those that basically turned into ice water with a hint of ethanol were dismissed.

We then mixed the most promising contenders into vodka sours and martinis, to observe any complementary or conflicting flavors, as well as structural changes caused by stirring and shaking. After we prepared the martini, we divided it into two glasses—one garnished with an olive and one with a lemon twist. While writing this guide, I tasted our final picks again and again over the course of months, and I sampled them in additional cocktails, including a Bloody Mary and a Moscow mule.

We used the following ratios to make classic vodka sodas, vodka sours, and martinis:

  • Vodka soda: 2 ounces vodka, topped with 4 ounces Fever Tree club soda
  • Vodka sour: 1½ ounces vodka, ¾ ounce lemon juice, ¾ ounce simple syrup
  • Martini: 2½ ounces vodka, ½ ounce Dolin dry vermouth—stirred, not shaken

There’s no good way to know whether you’ll love a vodka before you try it, since you can’t realistically judge a bottle’s quality based solely on its price, base material, or labeling. And unfortunately, most buzzwords found on labels are purely marketing devices that don’t signify quality.

For example, many brands advertise the number of times their vodka has been distilled. Yet the distillers we interviewed, as well as other published works we referenced , all corroborated that the stated number of distillations on a bottle is inaccurate and uninformative . A higher or lower number of distillations does not correlate to a higher or lower quality. That’s because that number doesn’t account for all of the other variables in the distilling process that can differ from one distillery to another—variables such as included additives, the quality of the feedstock, or the type of stills used.

We also learned—in our research as well as firsthand—that there’s no appreciable difference between top- and bottom-shelf vodkas, aside from packaging. Whereas other spirits, such as whiskey, might cost more because of factors like age, volume loss , scarcity, or source materials, neutral vodka is theoretically inexpensive, unfussy, and quick to produce.

This isn’t to say that vodka can’t use an expensive base material or that it can’t express terroir or character from its raw ingredients. Most people think of vodka as coming from raw materials like potatoes and grain, but it can be produced from nearly any edible ingredient under the sun, such as milk , fruit , rice , and even air . Someone with an expert palate may be able to appreciate the subtle characteristics that come from different base ingredients. But materials alone won’t indicate quality—there are too many other factors in production that influence the texture, flavor, and smoothness of the final product.

Of our picks, Smirnoff, Tito’s, and Kirkland Signature American Vodka are labeled gluten-free on the bottle. But most distilled alcohol is gluten-free by nature. And it’s deemed safe for people with celiac disease , regardless of the base ingredient, because distillation removes gluten proteins from the final product. Gluten proteins are heavy and not volatile, so they sink to the bottom of the still, rather than vaporizing and siphoning off with the rest of the alcohol.

The exception to this is in the uncommon instance where gluten is added post-distillation, such as in some flavored spirits or those finished in beer barrels. But unflavored vodka is unaged and neutral by law , so it shouldn’t contain any gluten additives post-distillation.

Although the TTB , which regulates distilled spirits, stipulates that gluten-free labels can be placed only on products containing less than 20 ppm of gluten, there is currently no federally overseen process for obtaining the “certified” gluten-free seal. If you see this certification label on food or beverage packaging, it’s likely from a third-party company, such as NSF or BRCGS .

In short, Beyond Celiac , the National Celiac Association , and the Celiac Disease Foundation all affirm that distilled liquor is free of gluten and therefore safe for consumption by people with celiac disease. But, as always, you should first check with your health-care provider regarding any safety concerns.

Russian Standard Original Vodka Review

This Russian-made vodka has a rich, food-friendly texture.

standard vodka yacht

Liquor.com / Laura Sant

This neutral-flavored vodka works well as a blank state for cocktails, and its viscous body stands up to meats and heavier dishes.

Classification vodka

Company Roust Corporation

Distillery St. Petersburg, Russia

Still Type column

Released 1998

Proof 80 (40% ABV)

Awards Gold, 2020 Spirits Business Vodka Masters 

Provides a blank slate for mixing and infusing

Its neutral flavor makes it great with mixers and modifiers such as juices and tonic or sodas.

Its viscous body might be a turnoff for those who look for a complete blank slate in vodka. However, its texture is complementary to the Russian tradition of cold vodka served alongside food.

Tasting Notes

Color : Clear 

Nose : Minimal aromatics, except for a nearly imperceptible sweetness from the grain base

Palate : Clean, mildly sweet from its wheat base, and surprisingly peppery on the palate, this vodka also hits the tongue with an almost unctuous, oily texture. 

Finish : The lingering sensation is all about the peppery notes and the alcohol. The unctuousness dissipates and the finish is very dry and clean. 

Russian Standard’s billionaire owner, Roustam Tariko, also founded an insurance company and a bank, and owns his own Boeing 737. The vodka his company created in the late 1990s seems like it has a particular traditional focus: To be served cold and with food. It is silky and almost voluptuous in the mouth, and makes a nice primer for meats, a variety of pickled foods, and other traditional Russian dishes. Its barely perceptible aromatics mean that while it doesn’t necessarily complement any dishes, it certainly doesn’t compete or clash with them, either. 

Chill it down and give it a shot (pun absolutely intended). Of course, mixing this vodka in cocktails is entirely fine, too. It makes an excellent complement for soda in highballs (like the ubiquitous Vodka Soda ) or juice-centric cocktails, and its soft viscosity would add even more velvety texture to drinks using cream or eggs . 

Interesting Fact

Russian Standard's ogliarch owner, Roustam Tariko, also owns Russian Standard Bank.

The Bottom Line

Russian Standard Original vodka is both food-friendly and nicely mixable.

The 10 Best Premium Vodkas Everyone Should Try

Arguably the most popular spirit in the world, the great thing about vodka is its versatility. Get the right one and you can enjoy it neat as it was originally intended, or use it as the base for a whole array of cocktails.

Being such a huge category spirit, styles vary greatly as it’s not so highly regulated as other spirits such as whisky and as a result, there are nuances in colour and impurities. Experience a top-quality, smooth vodka served cold and you’ll come to appreciate what a good vodka really is- served cold, it goes down smooth.

A number of vodkas are produced flavourless and odourless, making them great bases for cocktails, but if it’s to be enjoyed neat, you’re going to want something with a bit of character.

What is Vodka?

It’s an un-aged, distilled spirit made from fermentable grains, generally 40% ABV. Originating from Russia and Poland, vodka is now made the world over. The number of times a vodka is filtered is the producers prerogative but the more its filtered, the fewer the impurities and lesser the flavour.

We’ve rounded up the best premium vodkas that epitomise what a quality vodka is - smooth with no harshness.

Vodka and caviar is one of life’s greatest pairings. The salinity of the Royal Baeri caviar in L'Orbe is held in check by the fresh, cold vodka providing complexity to the spirit. It does have that distinctive caviar taste, as you hope it would, given the size of the Baeri in the internal tube, but it’s not overwhelming. This is a great vodka if you want something completely unique.

Serving suggestion s: If you’re partial to a dirty martini or a classic martini, then serving L’Orbe with a twist of lemon is the ideal serve. Enjoy the earthy, salty flavours of the vodka, enhanced by a citrus twist.

€135 from Maison du Whisky

Konik’s Tail

This is an exemplary Polish vodka that should be in everyone’s wish list. Konik’s Tail is a grain-distilled spirit with a slightly thicker viscosity giving it a creamier texture. It carries delicate, savoury flavours with a hint of smokiness on the oily, palatable finish.

Serving suggestions : It really is criminal not to have this neat, but if you’re going use it in a cocktail try a vodka sour where this silk vodka will add to the creamy texture of the egg whites.

$46.62 from The Whisky Exchange

Fallen Angel

Bottles don’t come more statement than this Fallen Angel, it's not the prettiest but it's attention-grabbing for sure. It's not so easy getting your hands on but worth it when you do. The natural sweetness comes through on an otherwise clean, crisp and smooth palate, the result of a seven-times distillation process.

Serving suggestions : Enjoy it neat, straight from the freezer or in a clean Martini with a twist of lemon.

£195 from Fortnum and Mason

This vodka was a welcome surprise. Produced in Chatham’s Historic Dockyard in Kent, we can’t help but be attached to the nautical roots of this small batch vodka. Undeniably smooth, Vela straight, even at room temperature isn’t a hardship on your throat, a big contender for this category.

Serving suggestions : Enjoy it neat and cold or use it in an espresso martini for a late-night pick-me-up, there's a nice texture to this vodka that nicely complements the creaminess of an espresso martini.

$35 from The Whisky Exchange

Beluga Noble

We’ve no doubt you’ve come across Russia’s most popular vodka. Carefully crafted in Siberia, Beluga Noble has a distinctive taste of honey with a hint of pepper. It’s elegant and easily enjoyed neat.

Serving suggestions : Cold, straight from the freezer alongside some caviar if you’re so inclined. Otherwise try your hand at the Beluga 1900 , a cocktail combining ruby port and citrus with this delicious Beluga Noble.

$40.32 from The Whisky Exchange

This is a lovely Japanese rice vodka from Suntory. Haku has a slightly perfumed aroma and a sweetness that follows through on the palate. It has a slightly oily texture that's clean and smooth, so much so enjoying it neat is a treat, leaving a nice, long aftertaste.

Serving suggestions : Mix it up a bit with a dirty martini using sake and Haku.

£31 from Master of Malt

A classic premium vodka that we can all confidently agree is a safe option. It makes a great base for cocktails as it has a fairly muted yet versatile flavour. Neat, expect a whiff of smoke on an otherwise clean palate.

Serving suggestions : Add ginger beer, ice and a slice for a superb Moscow Mule, or, alternatively, muddle with fresh strawberries and cranberry for a refreshing strawberry smash.

$47 from The Whisky Exchange

For a more premium iteration, try the Grey Goose XV, $178

Vita is a fantastic discovery for those looking for smooth vodka with a potent flavour profile. With a sharp, persistent vein of citrus, Vita can be enjoyed neat or, as the producers suggest, with water. We tried it and there’s no denying it works well.

Serving suggestions: Over ice and topped with soda water - it’s simple, refreshing and light.

A decadent vodka that looks almost too good to open, The Lakes is born from the Lakes Distillery - initially a whisky distillery - in England’s Lake District. It has a strong hint of citrus and would make a great base for a number of cocktails.

Serving suggestions : Great for a variety of cocktails, our particular favourite is an indulgent White Russian- pair with Kahlua and cream

Review: Russian Standard Gold Vodka

standard vodka yacht

First there was Russian Standard and Russian Standard Imperia . Now there is Russian Standard Gold. Because that’s how Russia works.

The bottle design of this new vodka line extension is less imposing but still hangs on its Russian street cred, all Cyrillic lettering and Old World nostalgia. Inside, yep, it’s vodka, and while it’s unclear how the recipe differs from the other RS bottlings — literally no information is offered except it has the “finest Russian ingredients include carefully selected Siberian Golden Roots,” which I had to look up but which didn’t really help me at all.

Whatever it is, your 45 bones gets you some awfully good stuff. As vodka goes, this is a nuanced and unique spirit, loaded with vanilla and bearing a distinct chocolate finish. Frankly it’s better than most flavored dessert-style vodkas if you’re looking for that kind of sweetness, but the sugar’s not overpowering. Instead, it’s quite perfectly balanced with a seductive and sweet body, yet it’s still a burly vodka at heart and with a big finish that makes no bones about its true calling as a monster vodka.

This is a vodka with two heads, each of them in equal measure. That’s a rare feat in the vodka world, where things tend to veer either toward uber-medicinal rotgut or sugared candy bombs, and for that, Russian Standard Gold deserves high praise indeed.

You will, however, have to pay for that praise.

Russian Standard Vodka is a Russian vodka made by Rustam Tariko. It was founded in 1998 and is the number one selling vodka in Russia. Russian Standard Vodka is made from Russian winter wheat and glacial water from Lake Ladoga, and it is distilled four times.

Russian Standard Vodka is good because it's made from Russian winter wheat and pure glacial water. The company also claims that their vodka is "four times distilled" and filtered through charcoal, which results in a smooth taste.

Russian Standard Vodka is made using a traditional Russian method of vodka production that has been passed down for generations. The wheat used to make the vodka is grown in the Russian Steppes and is specially selected for its purity. Once the wheat is harvested, it is milled and distilled four times to create a smooth, clean spirit.

What sets Russian Standard Vodka apart from other vodkas on the market is its "secret ingredient" - frozen winter wheat. This gives Russian Standard Vodka a slightly sweet flavor and a smooth texture that makes it perfect for sipping neat or mixing into cocktails.

Russian Standard Vodka is available in liquor stores, supermarkets, and online. It's one of the most popular vodkas in the world, so it shouldn't be too hard to find. Prices vary depending on where you buy it, but it's generally affordable.

If you want to get Russian Standard Vodka at the best price, your best bet is to buy it online. There are a number of websites that sell Russian Standard Vodka at discounted prices. Just make sure that you're buying from a reputable source before you make your purchase.

Russian Standard Vodka ranges in price depending on where you purchase it and what size bottle you get. For example, a 750 mL bottle of Russian Standard Original costs around $20, while a 1000 mL bottle costs around $30. Prices will vary slightly if you purchase the vodka online or in a brick-and-mortar store.

Russian Standard Vodka is a Russian vodka produced by Roustam Tariko. It is made from Russian winter wheat and glacial water from Lake Ladoga, and contains 40% alcohol by volume. The company claims that the water used in the production of Russian Standard Vodka comes from "the same source as that which has been drunk by generations of Russian Tsars".

The brand was founded in 1998, and its flagship product is Russian Standard Original. The company also produces a Platinum version of the vodka, as well as several flavors including Rusian Standard Gold (with honey and vanilla),Imperial Collection (flavored with citrus, ginger or cranberry), and Moscow Mule (flavored with ginger).

In 2009, Russian Standard Vodka launched a "Make Your Mark" campaign in the United States, which included a series of television commercials featuring actor Steven Bauer. The brand has also been endorsed by supermodel Naomi Campbell.

Russian Standard Vodka is one of the world's largest vodka producers, with annual sales of over four million cases. It is available in over 80 countries and has won numerous awards, including "Best Vodka" at the World Spirits Championship and a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Russian Standard Vodka is made from Russian winter wheat and glacial water from Lake Ladoga, so it's no surprise that it has a smooth, clean taste. It's perfect for sipping on its own or adding to your favorite cocktail.

Russian Standard Vodka comes in three different types: original, platinum, and gold. The original is the most common and is made with wheat and rye.

Platinum is a more premium vodka that is made with wheat.

Gold is the most premium vodka and is made with rye.

All of Russian Standard's vodkas are produced in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

If you're looking for a Russian vodka that's not Russian Standard, there are a few other brands to try. Stolichnaya is one of the most popular vodkas in Russia and has been around since 1938. There's also Beluga, which is produced in Siberia and uses local ingredients like honey and soybeans.

Other Russian vodkas worth trying include Diamonds, Moskovskaya, Russki Standart Gold and Platinum, Snow Queen, Sobieski, and Zhuravli.

If you want to branch out beyond Russian vodka brands, consider Grey Goose (from France) , Ketel One (from Holland) , or Absolut (from Sweden) . All three of these brands are widely available and have a variety of flavors to choose from.

Russian Standard Vodka is made from Russian winter wheat and is distilled four times. This results in a smoother, more refined vodka that has a clean taste.

Russian Standard Vodka also uses pure glacial water from Lake Ladoga - the largest lake in Europe. The water goes through a ten-step filtration process before being used in the vodka.

All of these factors come together to create a superior quality vodka that is perfect for sipping neat or using in cocktails.

Russian Standard Vodka is said to have a number of advantages over other vodkas.

One is that it is made with Russian winter wheat, which is supposed to give the vodka a smoother taste.

Additionally, Russian Standard Vodka uses water from Lake Ladoga, which is one of the largest and deepest lakes in Europe. The water is said to be exceptionally pure, which contributes to the quality of the vodka.

Finally, Russian Standard Vodka undergoes a " quadruple distillation process," meaning that it goes through four rounds of distillation instead of the more common three. This supposedly makes for a much cleaner final product.

Russian Standard Vodka is not a perfect product. There are some disadvantages that you should be aware of before you buy it.

Firstly, Russian Standard Vodka is more expensive than some other brands of vodka. This is because it is made with high-quality ingredients and is produced in small batches.

Secondly, Russian Standard Vodka has a strong flavor that some people may not enjoy. If you are looking for a vodka with a milder flavor, then this may not be the right choice for you.

Finally, Russian Standard Vodka is only available in certain countries. So if you live outside of Russia or the United States, then you may have difficulty finding it.

Russian Standard Vodka is a popular choice for cocktails and there are many recipes that include it. Some of the most popular Russian Standard Vodka cocktails are the Moscow Mule, Cosmopolitan, and White Russian.

The Moscow Mule is a refreshing cocktail that is perfect for summertime. It's made with Russian Standard Vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. To make one, simply combine two ounces of vodka, four ounces of ginger beer, and the juice of half a lime in a copper mug filled with ice. Give it a good stir and enjoy!

For those who like something sweet, the Cosmopolitan is a great option. It's made with Russian Standard Vodka, cranberry juice, triple sec, and lime juice. To make one, simply combine two ounces of vodka, one ounce of cranberry juice, one ounce of triple sec, and the juice of half a lime in a shaker filled with ice. Shake well and strain into a martini glass.

Finally, the White Russian is a classic cocktail that is perfect for those who enjoy something creamy. It's made with Russian Standard Vodka, coffee liqueur, and heavy cream. To make one, simply combine two ounces of vodka, one ounce of coffee liqueur, and four ounces of heavy cream in a shaker filled with ice. Shake well and strain into a rocks glass. Add some ice and enjoy!

Russian Standard Vodka is not currently certified as vegan by any organization. However, they do not use any animal products in the production of their vodka. Russian Standard Vodka is made from wheat and rye grains that are grown in Russia. The water used to make Russian Standard Vodka comes from Lake Ladoga, which is the largest lake in Europe.

Russian Standard Vodka is gluten free. This means that it's safe for people with Celiac disease or gluten sensitivities to drink. The vodka is made from wheat, but the distillation process removes all of the gluten proteins. So, if you're looking for a safe and delicious vodka to drink, Russian Standard is a great option.

Yacht Club Vodka 750ml - Uptown Spirits

Inspired by life on the Côte d’Azur (French Riviera), the Yacht Club Vodka bottle takes you on a journey back to a time of simple elegance.

Yacht Club Vodka starts with wheat milled into flour at a gristmill in the Northeastern region of France. Gluten is removed from the flour by adding water and kneading the dough to create a “gluten-free” base. The dough is dried, ground, fermented and then distilled. The removal of gluten makes the alcohol lighter in taste since there are less “congeners” (impurities) during the fermentation and distillation process. The alcohol is distilled five times and filtered through charcoal columns. Spring water sourced from the French Alps is filtered to 0.45 microns and added to the base alcohol. The result is a light, crisp tasting, gluten-free vodka, with a hint of Elderflower at the finish. Perfect on the rocks or in your favorite cocktail.

Based on the look of a 1960’s Riva “Aquarama,” the legendary boat of the Riviera, the mahogany clad bottle is a handcrafted work of art.

Custom glass blown in France, complemented by chrome hardware from Belgium, makes the nautically inspired vessel a handsome addition to any bar or yacht.
