I was wondering the same thing...because if you have to use the good stuff it could get expensive!
WHAT in the name of all that is holy, is Whipped Cream Vodka?? It sounds divine!

I was thinking the same thing!!!
I don't see how the cheap stuff wouldn't work as well as the good stuff, I mean it's all alchohol right? That's the important part.
I have a nearly full bottle of Fleischmann's left over from our wedding reception that we aren't going to touch, sounds like I have some uses for it now!

I had it from this brand, but I'm not sure if other vodka makers have it too. I had it at a friend's house with diet Crush (orange soda) and it tasted exactly like a Dreamsicle, but with a nice little kick at the end. If only bars had orange soda on tap, it would be my new signature drink.

Vinegar does a lot of the same stuff and costs a <$5 for a gallon.
And something about vodka in shampoo just screams "dry hair and dandruff" to me. But I've never tried it so I can't say for sure that's what would happen!
