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.

It may be but I think cheap vodka would be a poor gift.

Thanks. I don't know much about vodka but it looks like there's nothing ridiculously expensive. I'll try one of these.

Winn Dixie in BR has kettle one for $20.99 which is great but Costco @ $19.99 is actually grey goose if you care for that brand it's the best bargain

My wife loves martinies. Used to be with goose all the time. A few times I slipped in Costco brand kirklands in and she never could tell. So now it's 100% kirklands all the time.

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.

If you are buying for a vodka drinker, I'd go with Belvedere or Chopin for that price range. You don't buy someone Costco brand for a gift (even though that is what I have in my house when I drink vodka)

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