 The sad truth is, a lot of bartenders are snobs and right or wrong, some of us love to shit on vodka. We don't eat people who drink it, although some of you do suck, just not anyone who's watching this video. It's just that vodka is... kind of boring, and for a lot of people just a way to get drunk and not taste it. Of course we're wrong to be snobs about it. Everyone is free to drink anything they want and a lot of people with very expensive tastes start out on vodka. I mean, I love booze and I start it out on vodka. Besides, any bar owner will tell you that vodka pays the bills, so none of us really have a right to complain. There's one thing we're allowed to hate, flavored vodka. The truth is, most flavored vodka is trash that's artificially flavored, looking at you, Pinnacle. All that said, there are some flavored vodkas that I enjoy, like this guy. Deep Eddie is from Austin, Texas, and this bottle is part of a growing trend of naturally flavored vodkas. Now let's give this artisanal flavored vodka a nose. Smells like vodka and grapefruit juice. This is good. It's made with actual grapefruit juice and a little cane sugar, so it's kind of a cocktail on the bottle. Give this to me on the rocks on a hot day and I'm a happy camper. Next. This is Finlandia grapefruit and it was in the most popular drink on the menu at my very first restaurant job. Because of that drink, I've kept the bottle around ever since. A little bit more vodka, a little bit less grapefruit. Delightful. A little more alcohol forward than the last one. This would be great to sub into your vodka drink of choice. I say this without a shred of irony. I love this bottle. I'm serious. And that was it a coincidence that both of these are grapefruit vodkas? Yes. I didn't do any research for this video. I didn't go buy a bunch of vodka and taste it all. I just happen to have these around and I like them both. I'm not part of the grapefruit conspiracy. There it is. I finally got to a vodka episode. See? I'm not such a snob after all. If you liked it, hit like, consider subscribing if you haven't already, and if there's something you think I should try, let me know in the comments.
