Last night at Grapevine Market, I saw a new vodka in the aisle: Dripping Springs Vodka. It was sitting next to the Tito's and it was $14.99. I thought, "Hell, why not?" I bought a couple bottles of Dr Pepper to get trashy with and headed home.
This is not sippin' vodka. It's got a clean but mean punch. The nice thing about it was it had no funky aftertaste like Tito's vodka sports. (No, I'm not a Tito's fan...) The not so nice thing was it kicked my ass. I'm no stranger to vodka, but this stuff is well-worth the money in terms of chemical escapism. You want a martini? Stick with the good stuff, your Grey Goose, your Belvedere (that's for you, Angela!). You wanna sing karaoke with your friends? Get some Dripping Springs.
A locally-produced vodka that's cheap and enjoyable? Sign me up!

O.k....now it totally makes sense why you were writhing on the floor singing karoake when we picked up the kittens. For all I could tell, you were just drinking Dr. Pepper.
I'm going to lay off the hard stuff for a while but next time I need some potato alcky-hawl, I'll stay local!!! Happily too!
Yeah, its really quite tasty with tonic, but the after effects the next day are not pleasant. Its been a long time since I had a hangover that bad...
That's why i like Tito's...no hangover.
