TITOS HANDMADE VODKA, United States 750ml

I was a bit skeptical about a "craft" vodka, but the small pot still process gives it a noticeably cleaner finish. Mixes beautifully in a martini without that harsh alcohol burn.

Six times distilled really makes a difference—this goes down noticeably smoother than the standard stuff I used to buy. Mixed it with some ginger ale and it didn't overpower the mixer at all, just clean and easy.

Finally a vodka that doesn't taste like straight rubbing alcohol—this one is actually smooth enough to sip neat. The small pot still process must be doing something right because even my martinis come out dangerously easy to drink.
