Vodka & Sweetened Iced Tea?

I have been a vodka man almost all of my life. I started to drink at 16, 30 years ago, and rocking and rolling still.

As I drink every day I mainly drink dry white wine. Not so bad when you get used to it, and you can buy it in big boxes, 3 litres in one box.

Back to vodka. I drink Stolishnaya, and Stolishnaya only. I can drink other vodkas too, if I'm in someplace that don't have Stoli. Then I wish I can have Absolut. I'm a patriot, but I must confess Finnish Vodka is OK, but not in Top 5, in Top 10, well, yes.

I like to drink my vodka chilled, just straight from on the rocks glass, without any ice. I keep my Stoli in fridge, and couple of bottles in freezer, for snaps. If you're going to eat black caviar for breakfast, you must have freezed Stoli and Russian Champagne (dry).

In a hangover morning, put a big splash of Stoli in your black morning coffee, and your hands stop shaking.

At 80's "White Russian" was very popular here in Finland. Vodka, Coffee Liquor and milk. "Black Russian" was other favourite: same drink without milk in on the rocks glass with ice.

The strangest drink I have seen was vodka and sour milk with ice.

My wife's favourite just now is Smirnoff Ice. Small bottles that have Smirnoff Vodka and some kind of lemon drink - too sweet for real men, lol!

My favourite drink is Screwdriver - Stoli and orange juice. If you have seen the movie "Jackie Brown" you have seen some serious Screwdriver drinking.

In Russia they drink the vodka straight from the glass and then have a sip of red whortleberry juice. Not bad. Used to be favourite here in Finland too, but we finns put them both in same long glass. I have had so many drink contests with my Russian friends...

Sorry about long post, I can talk about vodka hours and hours, but I let you in peace now.
