Good to know

The quality of vodka increases with price, and more expensive vodka is tastier. Chose a pricepoint that you enjoy but doesn't break the bank.

Vodka is a "grain neutral spirit" and is less likely to lead to hangover than a darker spirit like scotch.

OXO makes a good cocktail shaker with a measure built right into the lid. You can buy one here.
