I once drank about a 3rd of a bottle of olive oil to win $30. True story.

A few years ago the NT Times did a blind taste test of vodka. Smirnoff won.

Gradyâs coffee sponsors the Josh Marshall podcast, and itâs pretty sold. Itâs a small-medium sized business (like $30M in sales/yr now). Itâs $10-12 for a can, which has 4 bean bags, each of which makes a pitcher.
I donât mind Smirnoff. I buy Titoâs normally though and wouldnât go less than Smirnoff. Gin can suck it.
I vary between french press, aeropress, and a Hario pour over. Iâm too much of a newb to know what flavors Iâm trying to extract tbh lol. I know I fucking hate Folgerâs, Maxwell House, etc.
This did not surprise me when I read that report. Smirnoff has a very crisp, clean taste, which is exactly what you want in a vodka.

Smirnoff is so so easy to drink that itâs dangerous. 
Now thatâs a drink I need to stay away from whereas Whiskys make me all warm and happy inside. 
I always try to accentuate the acidity but it seems mostly like a black art, especially with the Chemex or V60 which is what I pour daily. Sometimes it comes out amazing and other times itâs just alright. Like recently I discovered letting the bloom drift out to 2 minutes added a lot of flavors I was missing, but you wonât find anyone recommending that.
I buy Gordonâs for my cheap vodka and gin mixing pleasure at home.
How is that thread not always at the top? People acting like they donât have a bag full of pol pots.

Once you mix it with Pepsi and lime, doesnât it all pretty much taste the same?
A true connoisseur.
Jane Goodall is more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than Greta Thunberg. (Both have been nominated)
Fite me.

Always been a french press guy. Itâs like the unfiltered cigarettes of coffee. If the blend is good, I donât bother with sugar and milk.
NPP is a joke. Fucking Obama got one and that was despite increasing drone strikes and attacking Libya and Syria.
Henry Kissinger has one.

Last weekend I was out at a Irish bar/restaurant with friends. A few cocktails had been had beforehand. For the first round a friend had a moscow mule with some fancy vodka he specified and I had a Murphyâs stout. I was intrigued by the mule, as I had never had one and it came in a fancy copper cup, so I ordered one for the second round and requested vodka âthat comes from a plastic bottle.â
It wasnât bad but struck me as a bit weak, but I suspect that was a combination of the bar and the prior cocktails.
