Tito’s Handmade Vodka has gotten so popular in recent years. In fact, it’s now the best-selling vodka in the U.S. (speaking of the U.S., have you seen the 13 drunkest states?)
Tito’s is the go-to “mid-tier” vodka, meaning it’s got great taste at a good price.
But fans and aficionados of eight other vodkas have a strong case for their favorites.
Here they are, along with their price points ($ to $$$$)…

The price: $$$
The pitch: Maybe the most well-known higher-end vodka, Grey Goose is known for its smoothness. It’s single-distilled to keep the flavor of its two ingredients: wheat and water.

The price: $$$$
The pitch: This high-end Polish rye vodka is loved for its balance and its ability to be drunk on its own.

The price: $
The pitch: Its low price point and its mildness make Svedka a great “starter vodka” and mixer.

The price: $
The pitch: This one is going to be polarizing. Either you’re down with Costco’s private label stigma (and its 1.75-liter size) or you’re not. If you can get past the lack of name brand, the actual six-times-distilled vodka is a perfect dinner party guest – inoffensive but not bland, with the ability to mix freely with others!
For a more “opinionated” vodka, try the Kirkland Signature French Vodka.

The price: $$
The pitch: Like Tito’s, Stoli is a great mid-tier vodka. This Latvian alcohol has fresh, floral notes without overpowering you with the taste of alcohol.

The price: $
The pitch: If you like personality, you’ve come to the right place with Pinnacle. Some will say it’s salty, some peppery, some both, but in any case, it’s not for people who like a meek vodka.

The price: $
The pitch: Smirnoff is the most popular vodka in the world for a reason. Its flavors are subtle and its price point is very accessible!

The price: $$
The pitch: We couldn’t leave without giving Tito’s the respect it deserves. Unlike Kirkland or Svedka, Tito’s isn’t super-subtle. You may not be able to quite pick out the flavor out of many competing notes, but you’ll taste something!

So there you have it – eight vodkas with pretensions to beating Tito’s.
And each has a powerful argument to make, for sure.
But here’s the real question…
