I hate to admit it, but I flavor my Vodka with Bombay Sapphire! Well, it's a lot cheaper than Lafite, and anyway after two, I forget about it!

It's a vespa!

Hanger One Kaffir Lime is one of the best and smoothest Vodkas out there. You can mix it 50/50 with tonic or 7UP and you don't know you are drinking Vodka... Its dangerous!

sweet, another Hangar One proponent!

did you know that their standard Vodka is a blend, with half being made from Viognier!? i went to a tasting once and one of the owners said that one day they want to release a Vodka 100% from Viognier grapes!

I'm with W+A as I've never had a flavored vodka.

I can't see buying any unless it were for some kind of themed martini party where the ease of not adding your own flavors would come in handy. I don't need peppered vodka for bloody marys as I just use pepper. But others seem to like at least some of the flavored offerings, so no harm no foul.

Pushing the envelope once again...

mn, and I thought pear vodka was a stretch at work.

when we go out to bars or clubs my girlfriend wants to watch her carbs/calories sometimes and gets a flavored vodka with club soda.

Three Olives Root Beer and soda is pretty damn close to just drinking a root beer.

but all in all i think the flavored vodkas are useless.

Ugh... I turned 21 when I was in the Air Force. Needless to say, I drank a lot. Absolut Vanil or whatever it's called on the rocks was my drink of choice in the dorms with my roommate. I get sick just thinking about it.

I still love Absolut Peppar for Bloody Marys as indybob said, though I prefer vodka with several peppers soaked in it a la the Big Sur Inn.
