Found this tonight in Asda it is the Ciroc 70cl Amaretto flavour. Had plenty in stock as the member of staff went and opened a new case for me.
They also had a couple of other flavours at £20

i hate to be the one to tell you this, but smirnoff is a terrible, terrible vodka. ditto russian standard, for that matter. i'd rather have red square or vladivar or green square if i'm mixing it, but i wouldn't drink any of them neat.
ciroc is a much higher quality vodka, closer to the likes of belvedere or grey goose. that said, i much prefer luksusowa or stolichnaya (which are both cheaper than those - £14-18 a bottle - and personally i think they're actually better vodkas, too) - although if you can stretch to crystal skull vodka, i can't recommend that one enough. bloody expensive, though. the chase potato vodkas are really good, too, if a little more expensive than the imports.
generally, i'd suggest that you look for a potato-based vodka such as luksusowa or chase as they'll generally be smoother and slightly sweeter (even if the russians claim vociferously that grain is better, potato vodka is actually harder to make and those that make it generally take a lot more care when they do). if you have to go grain, try stolichnaya red (or black, if you want a more expensive but smoother version). keep it in the freezer, too, so it goes slightly gloopy.

Do you need to mix this or do you just drink it straight?

I think you can enjoy it both ways, as long as you don't mind straight vodka. It's still gonna kick though...

Any reason why we wouldn't be better to just go and buy a bottle of Amaretto for about £5.75 from Aldi? :stuck_out_tongue:

vodka has a higher percentage of alcohol, and doesn't flavour what you mix it with.
plus amaretto makes me think of the biscuits and i get hungry.
oh, and vodka doesn't tend to hit you with as bad a hangover because it has fewer of the nasty compounds that cause them.
