the consensus is that Bri is right. buy the cheap stuff and freeze it.
I pretty much agree with the second one, in that vodka is so subtle it hardly makes a difference. That's why I choose mine based on flavor (and if im getting a plain vodka, by what's cheapest). Absolut has a lot of flavors, and most of them are way too sweet which is why I steer clear of it when I can. I can't turn down a free bottle of pear flavored vodka, but i don't think i would pay money for it.

Ketel One Citroen is very good. The flavor is there but not too powerful, and citrus is a much better thing to flavor vodka with than all the fruits and crap that absolut does.

I also like the Grey Goose flavors lemon and orange. Again the citrus isn't very strong and you can still enjoy it for being a vodka and not vodka and juice which is what I feel like when I drink absolut. Still though Grey Goose is overpriced...
