You got to be kidding. This filters takes away the alcohol from 40% to 4% LOL dont do it!!

Cheap vodka only tastes cheap the first 4 shots… then all vodka tastes the same.
Surprise discovery – BS!
I have used 4 times filter for 15 years. In fact, you can NOT tell the difference. Filter svedka or sky 4 times & compare with grey goose. No difference. Since Kirkland Vodka is so cheap I don’t do this anymore. Bottoms Up!
So basically but a cheap vodka but use a water filter which you can only use for vodka after. Wouldn't that make it cost as much as a good enough bottle
If you're using it for baking, why does it matter that it's premium kind?
Tips to improve flavor of vodka:
* Pour out vodka
* Wash out bottle
* Put literally anything else in the bottle
Why do people drink vodka?
I'm pretty sure the reason I bought Vodka would be
for me to drink it, and not water my plant with it
This is not true, check out the Mythbusters.
"This leaves one question-what if you want the vodka for drinking?"
BITCH WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO DO WITH IT??
Two Russians are lost at sea in a tiny lifeboat. They've been drifting for weeks with no hope of rescue. One day, one of them sees a lamp floating in the waves. He picks it up and rubs it, and a genie appears.
"You may have one wish," says the genie.
Instantly, the Russian with the lamp says, "I wish the ocean was made of vodka!"
"Your wish is my command," booms the genie. He turns the entire ocean into vodka, and then disappears in a puff of smoke.
"You idiot!" yells the other Russian. "Now we have to piss in the boat!".
What kind of idiot drinks vodka straight. It has absolutely zero flavor and no personality. You can make vodka from literally any alcohol, including wine and beer, just by distilling it enough.
Omg is it possible that is the first video I have seen where americas test kitchen hasn't suggested the most expensive thing on the market still using the overpriced all-clad though I see (that's there sponsor but we won't tell anyone that will we) teehee
sure
didn't the mythbusters disprove this?
Alton Brown did this HOW MANY YEARS AGO? Taking credit for someone else's work. Tisk… Tisk
Americans prefer the clean, tasteless vodkas like Finlandia and Absolute, which are distilled like medical alcohol for maximum purity. The tasteless vodkas are idea for mixing because they let other flavors dominate the drink why they supply the booziness. Russians generally prefer to drink vodka straight and have a refined cultural palate that can discern a range of flavors, including water source and quality as well as the taste of the grain which are both considered important for good vodka.
Издевается над водкой )
would I need to replace the filter sooner if I pour a whole handle of vodka through it four times?
i love these tips, but the test kitchen definitely didn't "discover" this. this has has been known for ages.
"Seasoned palettes" for a odorless, flavorless liquor. Most of vodka is just a scam. Granted, the cheap, cheap stuff can be worse because of bad filtration, but at a point, it's all the same.
Love this tip!!! Thanks!!!
Plus it make your water taste great the next time you filter some tap water!!!
Yeah, at 1:00. In any case, I've had good luck with Finlandia and Prarie for good value vodkas for a semi-decent price.
the part you're looking for is "If you want it for straight up drinking, seasoned pallets will notice the difference. also the grit will be filtered out since you run it through multiple times
I thought Mythbusters tested this. Only Jaime and that Vodka expert could tell. Plus, running those filters the first time means a little carbon grit happens.
this little tip should save me approximately $2,476,825 a year.
Filters don't run $3 a pop. Cheapest is probably $7. I wouldn't use that filter for water ever again. Really cheap vodka and good vodka has a much bigger price difference than $7. Plus you can use the filter multiple times. From what I understand plastic can be the enemy of spirits.
I've heard of this trick before. The problem is that it destroys the filter. You can use it a few times though. I've never tried but it does purify the vodka. I wouldn't use it for water again though.
can you use the filter for water still?
danger danger will robinson!
ops, wrong channel. I'm drunk
you can improve flavor of cheap vodka with doritos consomme. this adds some southwestern kick to already kicky liquid.
bears, perestroyka, balalaika!
PLEASE tell me I can do this with PBR.
