The grass grows in Poland and Belarus and the European bisons aka wisents (zubr in Polish, hence the name!) eat it. There's always a blade of it in a bottle of genuine Zubrowka.
The most famous manufacturer is called Polmos. Wow - thanks for the info. How would you describe the taste? I find it difficult as I can't think of an obvious reference point.

The strange thing about Zubrowka is that when you mix it with apple juice (they call the combo "tatanka") it tastes much spicier than when drunk straight. I get at least cinnamon, maybe even clove, perhaps also vanilla.

Answer:
I like VOX, and Grey Goose. My favorite drink is Vodka Tonic with lime.

Answer:
I'm a Scotch girl myself. I like the more expensive Scotches (Laphroaig) neat. When I'm out I usually get a Scotch and soda with J&B. However, I see nothing wrong with putting Scotch like Glenfiddich or Johnnie Walker Black with soda. I hate it when people try to flaunt their "alcoholic superiority" by protesting when I order a Scotch and soda. You know what? It's blended Scotch, get over it. It's my goddamn drink, I'll drink what I like. You feel morally superior? Good for you.
For vodka, I like a straight up vodka martini with Ketel One. Basically, you keep the vodka in the freezer, pour it into a frozen Martini glass, and add a twist. It's delicious. I haven't had any other types of vodka (Skyy, Stoli, etc.) since college, but I'm sure they're just fine.

Answer:
I have tried one and it is pretty good.
Veronica's Vetiver and Vodka.
Chill a bottle of seltzer water.
Pour into glass over ice. Add vodka.
Add a splash of Khus Sharbat.
Stir. Voila!
I've tried this one, too.
Veronica's Vetivirgin.
Chill a bottle of tonic water.
Pour into glass over ice. Add gin.
Add a splash of Khus Sharbat.
Stir. Voila!
Khus Sharbat is available at Indian grocery stores or online at http://www.amazon.com/Kalvert-Khus-S.../dp/B000JMFCPW. I couldn't get the specific measurements or proportions except for the "Stir. Voila!", but knowing her, there aren't any.

Answer:
I've never drank much, and can't now at all, but when I did I liked to do small shots of Stoli Peach. Something about it drank this way was irresistable to me!
I still have my cutesy vodka shot set--I'd keep them sitting in the bowl of ice and water to keep them freezing cold.

Answer:
I'm rather simple: I like good ol' Stoli.
But i prefer Gin, either Gin tonic or with Ginger Ale. Lots of Ice. Even straight up.

Answer:
Hands down my favorite vodka is Citroc. It is French. It is made from grapes. The nuance of taste is sublime. There is something sort of airy about it. It is also expensive.
Next in line would be Grey Goose. Slightly less expensive.
I could be happy with about 1/2 a shot on the rocks with a twist of lime or lemon, sipped slowly, while making dinner after a long day in the ER.
Or a kamikaze on the rocks. (This one was introduced to me by a Physician who insists that vodka, being more "pure" is much better for you than other forms of alcohol!) But I don;t know how to make this.
Or a White Russian, but not too creamy.
I also enjoy an occasional glass of red wine.
I prefer to buy a bottle of the more expensive vodka, keep it in the freezer and stretch it out over a period of time, than buy a cheaper brand I don't enjoy.

Answer:
I´m not picky when it comes to vodka, but for drinking it straight, it should be made of rye (a good one is Moskovskaya), and served as icecold as possible. This is very important!
Some of my favourite drinks:
Bailey´s with gin (3/4 Bailey´s and 1/4 gin)
Gin tonic with lemon slice
Jack Daniel´s mixed with Coke Lime
Red wine mixed with Seven Up
and cold, please..
