Looking to get as a gift for a martini drinker. I saw a review for Chopin but don't really know anything about it. Not too worrried about cost but nothing crazy. Maybe $50 or under.

I do Titos due to the quality and price. Belvedere and ketel one are also smoothe. Stoleys used to be my choice but now I reach for titos.

This is a trick question. Martinis are made with gin.

I like Ketel for my martini's- drop of vermouth, heavy splash of olive juice, and a goat cheese stuffed olive (or 3)

If someone scoffs at a bottle of Kettle One, Goose, Chopin, ect. then they are full of shite. It's a glorified mixer.

It's not like it's bourbon.

If he is a vodka drinker, he probably has a brand. If not, I'd go Titos.

For cheap stuff that Costco Kirklands stuff isn't bad. Triple filtered I believe.

Get them Deep Eddy's if you have it at your local store. It's filtered 10 times and made in Austin. I like it better than Tito's and it's usually a couple of dollars cheaper as well.

Pretty much anything. Don't spend more than what Tito's costs. About the only difference in vodkas is what they're distilled from. For the most part they will taste the same if distilled from the same ingredient. So most grain based vodkas will be undetectable. If you blind taste test a potato and grain and rye side by side you will taste a slight difference. I can't say one if truly better than the other but I preferred the rye when I did a blind taste test.
