New Amsterdam Pink Whitney

I really wanted to enjoy this, but sadly it has significant drawbacks. It's excessively sweet for sipping neat and quickly becomes tiresome. Chilling it offers minimal improvement for easy drinking. Only when the glass is filled with ice does the sweetness reach a tolerable level, but this requires a substantial amount of ice to balance the flavor profile. Even then, two issues remain. Firstly, the vodka possesses a distinct bitter undertone that combines with the bitterness of the pink lemonade, creating an oddly bitter experience despite the lingering sweetness. Secondly, both components, the vodka and pink lemonade, taste inexpensive. While the flavor isn't overly artificial and its appeal is understandable, it just wasn't the revitalizing drink I had anticipated. Too bad.

I genuinely enjoy this; it's remarkably similar to a spiked pink lemonade. It possesses a simultaneous sweet and bitter quality but goes down very smoothly. It's enjoyable and definitely creeps up on you, so as always and with love, consume responsibly. On a side note, in my personal view, this would be a wonderful and charming beverage to offer at a gathering of friends, a party, or when meeting up with a close friend for a good chat, especially if they aren't heavy drinkers and prefer something other than beer or overly sweet/fruity options, but still wish to partake; this is a solid choice.

As someone who drinks whiskey straight, I find this surprisingly pleasant over ice. Since the pandemic, most bourbons and scotches have tasted and smelled off to me. I've switched to vodka and this was better than I anticipated. If you usually drink spirits neat, this won't be harsh at all. My partner found it too sweet, but my senses might still be dulled. Regardless, for ten dollars, it's a great value. Cheers!

The vodka is more apparent than you might guess from its appearance and marketing, but the sharp lemonade flavor is still present. It's just more of a secondary or even background element compared to the vodka's inherent taste. This remains a very pleasant drink, though not one for individuals who don't care for straight vodka. (Excellent for mixing)

A vodka infused with flavor from California. It's distilled five times and filtered three times. It starts with a pink lemonade aroma and has an elegant, pulpy character that leads to a medium-length finish, also with pink lemonade. October 2019

This is a staple for me when attending a hockey game. I had some of this during an outdoor Winter Classic game when the temperature was -8°F. I'm not typically a fan of flavored vodka, but this is great mixed with 7up.
