Vodka connoisseur? Or maybe I should say vodka collector? There are any number of top-of-the-line varieties out there but when it comes to style and unique design a few of them stick way out of the crowd. Here are 7 of the most outrageous luxury vodkas:
- Gold Flakes Supreme Quadruple distilled ultra-premium vodka with 24 carat gold flakes floating throughout.
- DIVA Triple distilled and filtered through crushed diamonds and gemstones, it also has a pillar containing precious gems running up through the center of the bottle.
- Tommy Gun Vodka It comes in a glass bottle shaped like a machine gun. And sorry, the gun doesn't actually fire vodka (yet).
- Go Wodka Extreme Comes in toothpaste tube-type bottles and is available in 3 flavors. Currently only sold in Austria and Germany.
- Garlic Vodka Yikes (not a good drink for a date!). Touted as both enhancing the flavors of certain meals and warding off illness, you can also opt for horseradish flavored vodka, if you prefer.
- Cactus Vodka It's the only "prickly pear" flavored vodka in the world, which means it's slightly sweet and slightly pink.
- Twistee Shots Uses the idea of yin and yang and is meant to mix two distinct and different flavors in one drink.

50 years from now MBA students will do studies on how marketing whizzes were able to get gullible consumers to buy hundreds of versions of the same products. It seems all you have to do is change the packaging, the image, or make slight flavoring additions and voila--a whole new product! All this from an intentionally flavorless, colorless alcohol that can be made in an industrial alcohol processing facility. Amazing.

Dude, that is NOT Chicago in the background.
No mountains, the river isn't nearly that big, and none of the buildings resemble anything in Chicago, save for the Hancock lookalike.

vodka, a marketer's dream and fun to drink--cold as could be. . . and yeah, Aaron needs a geography lesson. . . .but the vodka thing. . . .i found the perfect complement in NOLA back in July at Tales of The Cocktail. . . has anyone seen this stuff called aquaICE (speaking of a marketer's dream!) it's water that's purified in ice cubes that aren't frozen (really) but it had the best taste ever with my potato wodka. anyone seen it. . .i think it's called aquaice or something. please help me find the stuff. . .

Mike...I saw your comment and I have used aquaICE and it would be a great addition to these unique vodkas...I came across it in a Wall Street Journal article last year and I was able to purchase it online at aquaice.com. I love the fact that it is purified which doesn't affect the taste of my vodka and I also noticed that the cubes melt much slower than the ones that my ice maker produces and no more off flavors which is awesome (no more fish flavored ice!!)
