What people look for in a great vodka

Of course, everyone has their own version of “best” when it comes to food and drinks. That said, great vodka comes with some universal criteria.

Here’s what other sippers look for in a fantastic vodka:

  • Smoothness – Vodka shouldn’t burn, rather it should be smooth with a subtle taste profile.
  • Versatility – From vodka martinis to classic mixed drinks like a Black Russian, vodka is one of the most popular spirits for a wide range of drinks, so it needs to be up to scratch! Look for a classic and smooth vodka that will work well whether your guest requests a Bloody Mary or a shot!
  • Appearance – Yes, people do judge a spirit by its cover – and with bottles like Crystal Head in the mix, who can blame them? If a great-looking bottle matters to you, have a look around before you settle on one – you might be surprised at what you find!

A word on price

Vodka varies widely in price in Australia, starting around $38 for Cleanskin varieties (700ml) to over $100 for brands like Grey Goose (700ml). We recommend finding the right balance of quality and affordability when choosing – and always look around for sales!

  • I remember when actor Dan Aykroyd and John Alexander started promoting the skull Crystal Head vodka. I haven’t tried it yet. At the moment we are enjoying Absolut vodka and can recommend it.

  • I always go for Smirnoff as a well known, reliable brand. I don’t drink vodka all that often so can’t really comment on how it compares to others.

  • Wow! That Crystal Head bottle is really amazing. I can see how this is a great selling point as a gift. I’m enjoying learning all sorts of things on Just Sips.

  • I really like 23rd Street distillery Vodka. I’ve tried both the rose and pomegranate flavours, and ohhhh are they something special. I love a good cocktail, and I found that you don’t need a lot of ingredients mixed in with these to have something flavourful.

  • 23rd Street Riverland Rose Vodka – not only does it taste gorgeous, it looks gorgeous. I stumbled across it whist visiting 23rd Street to do a gin sampling session (which was amazing!) and so glad I did. Such a pretty bottle, colour and taste! They also have a Pomegranate vodka which is a vibrant colour and flavour. If you love 23rd street Gin, you will love their vodka!

  • Vodka is perhaps my favourite spirit, certainly in summer. I would have to say Reyka is one of the best I have tried. Reasonable price and very versatile. Straight with ice or as a mixer, very smooth and a bit different without being anything but top quality,
