The Pink Whitney is a cocktail with a fascinating history. It was created by the team at New Amsterdam Vodka after a passing comment made by Ryan Whitney, a former NHL player and current co-host of the Spittin' Chiclets podcast. Ryan mentioned on the podcast that his favorite way to drink New Amsterdam Vodka was to mix it with pink lemonade. The comment caught the attention of the New Amsterdam team and they decided to create a ready-to-drink version of Ryan's favorite cocktail, thus the Pink Whitney was born. This cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy a sweet, refreshing drink with a bit of a kick.
The Pink Whitney is a delightfully sweet cocktail with a tart undertone. The pink lemonade gives it a refreshing citrusy flavor, while the vodka adds a smooth, strong kick. It's a well-balanced drink that's both sweet and sour, with a vibrant, fruity taste that lingers on the palate.
