Smooth vodka means different things to different types of vodka drinkers. For some, the smoothest flavor is determined by neutrality – the lack of overt taste and ethanol afterburn when you drink it neat or in a mixed drink.

There are others who like drinking cheap vodka, who don’t mind some fire and heat but want something enjoyable that won’t keep them out of action the next day. And then, there are others that want to taste a quality vodka, rich in delicate perfume, made from premium ingredients that have a complex taste that can enliven even the most boring ginger ale, soda drink, or jazz up a refreshing tropical taste.

The following list of smoothest vodka has options for everyone at every budget, featuring original unsullied vodkas and flavored variations. Chances are your favorite style and brand is on this list, if not, work through it and by the end one of these bottles will be.

1. Purity Vodka

Purity Vodka is handcrafted in small batches from organic winter wheat and barley, then distilled 34 times through a custom 600-liter copper pot still. Purity vodka uses the method of gently warming the ingredients until the vapor is collected and then refining the spirit meticulously until only the heart of the distillate is left to make it clear, clean, and with little aftertaste.

This unique approach to distillation makes Purity a hit for the smooth vodka lover looking for easy heat without an ethanol afterburn, whether served chilled in a shot glass from out of the freezer or deployed in more exotic cocktailing.

It’s a favorite vodka for use in a classic cocktail where there’s a complex layering of flavors. The alcohol content is almost a bystander that allows the subtlety of spices, fresh lime, and a candied ginger garnish to take the lead in filling out a Moscow Mule.
