You can relax, I'm not. I pretty much never mix good vodka, with the occasional exception of Zubrowka which goes very well with apple juice.
I was using "you" in a general sense. Didn't mean to imply that you in particular were one of those fags. Like Scots here.

I'm talking classic cocktails - not abominations popularized by Coen Bros. fanbois. ;)
And if you can tell the difference between a Finlandia White Russian and an Absolut, I'd say you were lying.
Ahaha, fair enough. I will, however, try to prove you wrong with a taste test one day.
Most classic cocktails are for faggots though. As is Gin.

I think a caesar would probably taste worse with gin, but I guess the thing about caesars is that the vodka is almost completely masked.

I wish I had a more discerning palette when it comes to booze, but my wallet generally makes my drinking decisions. Which means I am no stranger to cheap vodka.
also white russians are for ladyboys

Actually, pretty much all vodka is overrated filth. It's the base spirit in the Emperor's New Cocktail. It's a rube's drink.
It's rubbing alcohol: A classless spirit, devoid of flavor. Comparing two different commercially made vodkas is like comparing Dasani water to Aquafina.
There isn't a single cocktail made with vodka that isn't a pale imitation of a better drink made with gin. It's best used in fruity drinks for girls where you hide the taste of alcohol altogether.
Drink whisky. Drink rum. Drink tequila. Drink gin. But for crissakes, don't waste your money on vodka.
Ahhh, you're talking about mixed drinks. That's strictly weekend warrior, amateur night, "bring your kids to work day", college lightweight stuff. For the professional seven-day-a-week drunk, a moderately decent quality vodka is the only way to go. You'll spend less time throwing up and wishing that you had no head than you would if you were pouring sugary fru fru crap down your gullet.
Note the "decent quality" qualifier. If you buy the cheapest stuff in the store, you're getting something that's proabably made from fermented pus and monkey shit mixed with paint thinner, and both your stomach and your head will know the difference later.
Gin tastes like cheap vodka mixed with aspirin.

For a long time, when I was stationed overseas with the Army, my drink of choice was Absolut Citron. Put it in the freezer, you never needed any ice in your drink, it was always cold. I helped out a family from the Urkraine on the side of the road with some gasoline, and they gave me a bottle of some "real" Ukraine vodka. I think they would have been better off to put the vodka in their gas tank, because it tasted like shit when I drank it. Ended up using it to clean the floors in my barracks room.

Oh no you di'n't.
Even on the Leaving Las Vegas track, if it's worth doing, it's worth doing with style. Ain't nothing lightweight about the way I drink. Nor is there anything fru fru about a real motherfucking martini (or the 3 Manhattans I've sucked down tonight in honor of the Yankees' imminent 27th World Series.)
