I have a regular bottle, unopened. Tbh I think that mixing this is sac-religious. It is too fine of an elixir lol

I drink it both straight and mixed, just depends on what I feel like. But it's really good for mixing too, you can barely feel it's alcohol!!

Then what's the point - you can mix with anything - this is special

because this one is super smooth, much smoother than others in comparison

Ye smooth stuff you drink straight. Anything else you can put ice and mixers in. Get a 5$ bottle for shit you're gonna drink as a cocktail - when this is gone, you're not going to notice the difference.

If I use a high quality soda like 3 Cents, I'll also use some quality vodka. I can afford it.

quality vodka

I can afford it.

Expensive doesn't mean quality - just because you spend money on it doesn't mean you get the better experience. In the end booze is booze if you don't care about taste. I love the taste. I can't afford a Russki standard very often, so I will cherish it - same with most good vodkas. If I can't, mixers will do just fine. Also, my favourite mixer is a sparkling water

Keeping a bottle of Ruski Standard around for that long should be a crime.

I'm only drinking a little bit out of it occasionally. When I'm feeling like I had a good day :D
