Because when I get one with cheap vodka I can taste the difference.
You could just run it through several coffee filters.

Connie, I was refering to ordering it at a bar. At home I usually drink wine.

I figured you were. I was amused with the image of pulling out a bunch of coffee filters at a bar and straining a drink through it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Rum is far too sweet for me. I have no idea what I'd mix with it to cut that.
White rum too?
Damn, I hit up BevMo and forgot to look at the rum aisle.
sj, you could always get one of those Brita portable water bottles and squirt through that. Not at all weird.

I am perfectly happy ordering my cosmos with Kettle One. I was just wondering if the more cocktail aware in the group felt that was a waste of good vodka?

When I was soliciting vodka suggestions in Natter I was told to save the good stuff for sipping straight or for gimlets. But if you can taste the difference, definitely go with the taste you prefer.

If you like it, it's not a waste, regardless of what we think. Particularly if you can taste the difference.
I like good vodka, but I generally order my vodka tonics with rail, because the difference is negligible to me, and I can basically get two for the price of one :) When I'm ordering a gimlet, however, it's Grey Goose or nothing.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Due to a combination of me being tired and hurting and the pharmacy not having medications in stock that they were supposed to have, I got nothing done today. Tomorrow, I need to go to the pharmacy to pick up the meds, then go to the office to work on some writing and maybe a few more applications. Then Wednesday, I've got an interview. Thursday, if I need more rest, I can rest. I can do this. Right?
