A couple of years ago, my wife and I took a Viking Cruise 1,000 miles on the Volga, from Moscow to St. Petersburg. On the boat, vodka in many iterations was cheaper than bottled water, and I tried everything they had. One of our last stops was at a Vodka Museum, that claimed to have over 1,000 vodkas, and I was one of only two or three to take the tour, and multiple vodka flights, at 10 am. So when I say there's no better-tasting vodka for mixed drinks, it's based on experience. Also, I saw no taste difference between this cheapest Stumbras Lithuanian vodka, and any of their higher-priced versions, like "Gold" or "Black."

I've tried this vodka in the past but my local store stopped selling it. Definitely a good vodka and priced very reasonably.
