My mother’s husband owns a concessions and catering company and a couple restaurants. Apparently, when he orders regular Smirnoff vodka, the vendor keeps sending him free samples of their other varieties. The problem is, this stuff doesn’t sell, at least not at his places. So today, knowing my fondness for flavored vodka, he presented me with some of his surplus.
Normally I don’t care for Smirnoff, their flavored vodkas are too sweet, but damned if I’m going to turn down a free CASE of it! There are 12 one litre bottles: three raspberry, three vanilla, two citrus, two apple, and two orange.
Cocktails, anyone?

Vanilla is my fave.
I’ll bring you a bottle when we drive up for C93. I’m sure I’ll have some left.

Mostly good. We tried it at my Xmas party and I mentioned it here shortly after. The vanilla was the best, it tasted exactly like Stoli Vanil (my preferred vanilla vodka). The blueberry flavor was subtle and a really nice color of purple. The coffee vodka smelled and tasted like dirt. I still have that on in my fridge, I’m thinking I’ll try it in a black russian one of these days. It’s not much good straight or with tonic.
