I have only tried one vodka drink, vodka gimlets, and I thought they were nasty, probably made correctly they are not though. This was many years ago at my Uncle's house. I now realize that my Uncle is very likely an alcoholic, and probably made them way stronger than they should have been....

My favorite drinks when I'm out having fun are either margaritas (especially prickly pear ones) or Mai Tai's. At home, I prefer my wine.....
