Stoli martini, very clean. I know, not a traditional "martini", and I am not averse to gin (Hendricks or Tanqueray) but prefer the Stoli.

- Transfusion with zero sugar ginger ale and just a splash of grape juice.

- Bloody Mary - so many different options

- Vodka plus sparkling water with a lime

Vodka, water, maybe a splash of lime if I'm feeling fancy

I do enjoy a screwdriver with homemade OJ

Bloody Mary is basically the only "vodka drink" I drink. Vodka is terribly boring to me, so I just don't even really consider drinking it otherwise. A Bloody Mary is a good morning drinking drink, though. I'm a weird guy who actually likes tomato/V8 juice.

The only times I drink a Bloody Mary (the only times I'm morning drinking really while not fishing - when I will drink beer) are Mardi Gras morning, a Saturday I'm attending the rare LSU football game that kicks off before noon, and the occasional times I get drug to a brunch (I'm not typically a fan of brunch either).

We've moved away from Vodka at our house for the most part. My wife moved to mezcal, and I moved to tequila or whiskey. Both of us just want a little more flavor.

That being said, I have been craving vodka 'martinis' again. And by a martini, I mean, vodka over crushed ice with some olive juice thrown in. I've drank a few of them in the last month.

a simple vodka martini dirty is refreshing and hard to beat.

Vodka/Soda/Orange Slice (not OJ, orange slice). I am not a fan of limes and the orange slice gives it a summer-like taste.

I was drinking a shite ton of Transfusions (made with Sprite Zero and grape juice) but then realized that I was drinking 5-6 sprite zeros on those days when I would drink a lot.

I've now switched to Tito's and Zevia ( Grape flavor) and it's awesome. Perfect flavor, maybe a little too good because I seem to drink these much faster than others. I've also tried the Orange flavor and it's just as good.

Bloody Mary, but I actually prefer one with Bourbon instead of Vodka.

Not a big vodka drinker, but I do drink it at the beach.

I’ll drink 1/2 Vodka and 1/2 Dekuyper Pucker with a splash of sprite. They will sneak up on you really quick.

If I’m trying not to look like a drunk high school kid I’ll drink Cucumber Vodka Gimlets.

pour in shaker with ice. Shake until it's colder than an ex-wive's heart. Pour in glass of your choice. Add three olives. Drink...repeat

I like vodka neat, right out of the freezer.. but for a good summertime cocktail, I like a Madras: Vodka, Cranberry and Orange Juice. Some give it a splash of grenadine.

Generally, Vodka/soda or vodka/water with lemon & lime and a TINY shot of mio. Sometimes I’ll get crazy and use ginger ale.

Get in a time machine and go back to 1986. Go to Fred's on a Thursday afternoon. There will be an entire wall with nothing but boxes of oranges for fresh squeezed screwdrivers. Forego the rock gut BR brand Vodka and for an extra $1.25 ($2.50 total for a 16 ounce souvenir cup) have it with Stoli.

I swear the 200-250 of them I had over the course of three years were the best 200-250 drinks of my life. Yeah, its nostalgia talking but gotdamm they were good.

BONUS:
Baton Rouge tap water makes the best ice.
