The New York Times - The best vodka

Five different bottles of vodka pictured with a martini and a spritzer.

We taste-tested 15 vodkas to find bottles that offer complex, intense flavors—without that rubbing-alcohol scent or burn.

‌

Kirkland Signature American Vodka was unanimously our favorite of the bunch. It’s the cleanest, creamiest, and most versatile one we tried. (And yes, it comes in a Costco-size bottle.)

The other picks in our brand-new guide to vodka include a briny spirit that’s great for martinis and a richer option for those with a sweet tooth. Cheers.
