Three Olives is usually a brand I stay away from simply because I'm a vodka-lover with hardly any money so I prefer more bang-fer-my-buck. But, having heard great reviews of Three Olives' new Bubble (bubble-gum flavor) vodka, I had to try it, even if it meant digging in sofa cushions for the money. By the way, if your seat cushions were all mixed up and off-center when you got home from work, this is my apology. I usually reserve drinking for the weekend, but I don't have any place to be tomorrow and well, I'm a grown-up so I can drink any day of the week I choose, missy. That was a long-winded way of saying, that I went out and bought this Bubble vodka today.Four sips later and I can tell you, this is some dangerous stuff. It smells just like Bubble gum, it tastes just like Bubble gum and by the third sip, you've totally forgotten you're drinking vodka.I'm drinking mine with Sprite since the soda doesn't overwhelm the taste. It's a nice neutral soda that compliments the taste of Bubble gum.So there it is. I've broken all my "rules" for this drink and I'm happy I did. Don't wait til Friday night or Saturday, go get some now! We'll have ourselves a Monday night Three Olives Bubble party. :)

I was pleasantly surprised. I was reminded of olive notes upon tasting the vodka. I should have hid the bottle and the pic of the 3 olives. good vodka!

Three Olives has become popular, out here in California. I've tried two of the flavored varities (cherry and rootbeer). Very smooth!

compared to grey goose this is the BOMB! Smooth with no unpleasant after taste.

I was surprised to see many of the low ratings, I really love this vodka, it makes a smooth flavorful martini.

Smooth, little bite, very refreshing.

A decent vodka for drinking straight, although probably better suited for mixed drinks. Clean finish with some warmth. If you like vodkas with more of a grain taste to them this is probably isn't the best choice. A good deal for its price

I bought this on sale for $15 a fifth assuming it must be pretty good at that price. I was very mistaken. I've been taking shots and, for the money, would rather have Smirnoff. Basically its poor quality inspired me to write my first review.

Three Olives was a huge letdown. I got it on sale a while ago and thought I was getting a great price on a quality vodka. Instead, I got perhaps the most vile tasting vodka I've tasted in a non-plastic bottle. There's no reason to buy Three Olives; you can get much better vodkas at lower prices. Go with Vikingsfjord, Luksusowa, Olifant, or even Fris; Finlandia if you want to spend a bit more to get a "name."

Not bad for the price, but not my favorite. I will buy it on sale though.

VERY GOOD FOR THE MONEY I LIKE THE CHERRY FLAVOR

Excellent, the best for the price. Love it.

This vodka is nothing special at all. I guess the english just are better at making gin. Buy finlandia, svedka, stolich, ketel one instead

I rate a lot of vodkas good because the rating system should be 1-10 and in that case this would be 7.5. A good vodka and is so good mixed but price is a issue and this is overpriced because of advertising and the bottle which is very nice but I only care about whats inside. This can mix very well or be taken in shots but is better mixed. It has a dry and clean finish with a little burn. Good vodka but not the best of the best.

Anise and chocolate with a sweet finish. Smooth, low alcohol odor, great value. You could mix this if you want, but with cheaper alternatives available either straight up, chilled, or on the rocks would be most suitable for this gift from the Brits. Loses character when ice-cold, making it less enjoyable as a martini than straight up.

Harsh strong aroma when the bottle is opened- at vodkaphiles is rated as medicore- price has been dropped in many local stores. Findlandia, Fris Viking Fijord are much better.

For the price, it is the best vodka on the market. Certainly, there are smoother vodkas, but the flavor of 3 Olives is wothy of any martini without the $20+ price tag.
dtownpro 12/27/2005
OK, to start i drink heavily, and borderline constatnly. Therefore price matters, yet i still like my alcohol to be pleaseing. For the price there is no better vodka period, you can;t deny that. There are better vodkas: Grey Goose etc but whith heavty prices almost 10$ more in most circumstances; I can honestly say 3 olives is well worth the 10$ saved.

The best mid-level vodka.
jsobo119 02/15/2005
Great for martini's but not as good straight or chilled. It just lacks the flavor. It has a crispness that just favors martinis. For those basketball fans out there Vermouth is to Three Olives as Stockton is to Malone!
celticprince 11/04/2004
a wee strong when you open the bottle and smell it- but is very crisp in a martini or great for mixed drinks- a bit overpriced but still good.

What can I say, anyone that makes a delicious chocolate vodka is my freind. Hooray for you Three Olives!! My advice, run don't walk, get yourself a bottle of both the choclate and the rasberry. Mix eaqual parts, shake with ice, pour... mmmmm YUMMY!

I recently was given a bottle ofThree Olive vodka. The martinis were excellent . We had several other brands; ie Grey Goose , Belvedere , Kettle One. I would say Three Olive Vodka makes an ecellent martini which is on the same plane as the best. I have since bought several more bottles , and given some as gifts. It is very smooth and has a wonderful taste. Three Olive has now taken over as my favorite . Try it.

Tried this brand when I found it on sale. It is not as elegantly smooth as Finlandia but for the price, I thought it mixed well with Collins or orange juice. My guests seemed happy with it, too.
cjsmith7 03/10/2004
A really good vodka. Great neat or mixed, good price also.

Worst vodka ever!! Illegal aliens (Martians, Mexicans, Canadians) will still be granted citizenship, so long as they do the work no one wants to dolike sweep waste ducts, clean nuclear life-support generators, and taste test Three Olives!!
ritwingr 02/16/2004
This is my favorite vodka, PARTICULARLY for martinis. Very smooth. Its also reasonably priced compared to other premiums (e.g., Belvedere, Chopin, etc.,) and I much prefer 3 Olives to the rest.
