Seems like Grey Goose is my favorite so far.

Any suggestions for a less expensive vodka for martinis? Tito’s makes a terrible martini. So far, Skyy vodka seems to be a fairly good alternative.

I made one with Bombay Sapphire recently, it was good, but I prefer vodka.

Gin is superior and what God intended Martini’s to made with.

Then you prefer vodka in a martini glass. It's not a martini.

Pedantic cocktail attitudes aside, my favorite vodka is Belvedere.

Second recommendation for Belvedere. Guess I’m going to have to try it out.

If a vodka martini is done to my liking, they all taste the same, which is briny AF.

I like my gin martinis a little more traditional.

I like Boru vodka but haven’t been able to find it lately.

When it's dirty, does it matter?

To be fair, I want Beefeater in a martini glass with an olive.

To be honest I don’t know that it matters tooooo much. The wife used to be all about grey goose. Slipped in some Costco brand and she didn’t even notice. Was using that for the longest now I use Wheatley so I can try to gain access to some other sazerac items.

Edit...if it’s dirty.

Beluga is pretty good, but about the same price as Grey Goose. Absolut Elyx if money is no factor.

A cheaper brand we like in my house is Reyka small batch. It’s about the same price as Tito’s.

Belvedere or Stolichnaya would get my vote.

I've been getting into gin lately. How about favorite gin for martinis (or gnt)? Had some locally made euphrosine gin that was pretty good.
