It's honestly really refreshing during summer to drink vodka + carbonated water. If it's really hot (or I'm super full of food) I don't want much taste and carbonated water does a good job of hiding away the vodka taste.

It's a common drink in Finland, Koskenkorva vodka and vichy (water)

Summer drink is a Gin and Tonic.

Nothing is better after mowing the lawn than a shot of Pin-Sol with lime.

Sounds like the water provides the freshness and the alcohol is around only to get you drunk. Just order carbonated water.

Why order vodka if you don't like the taste? If the goal is get drunk, just choose a drink that you find pleasant.

The alcohol is there to relax me.

Why order vodka if you don't like the taste

It's cheap and does the trick. And it can be pleasant, ice cold or in say carbonated water/vichy. Maybe it's a cultural difference but just seems amusing to explain this.

idk where the other guy is from but your take is the norm here in america, also sitting here mildly perplexed at this requiring explanation… maybe OP isn’t a drinker?

It's a matter of taste but out of hard liquor not flavored after I think brandy can be genuinely tasty. Ice cold good vodka can be refreshing. Sauna and ice cold vodka is worth trying out

Vodka sodas aren't a global thing?

I would think they are but they're not familiar to everyone (actually just had to explain the drink in another reply hah)
