Barstool Sports New Amsterdam Pink Whitney Vodka

New Amsterdam Pink Whitney Vodka. New Amsterdam Spirits, Modesto, California — a pink lemonade flavored vodka created in collaboration between New Amsterdam Vodka and former NHL player Ryan Whitney of the Spittin' Chiclets hockey podcast, delivering a sweet, refreshing pink lemonade character built on New Amsterdam's five-times-distilled, three-times-filtered wheat vodka base.

Ryan Whitney — former NHL defenseman who played for Pittsburgh, Edmonton, Anaheim, and Phoenix — is co-host of the Barstool Sports Spittin' Chiclets podcast, one of the most popular hockey shows in North America. On the podcast, Whitney repeatedly mentioned his preference for mixing vodka with pink lemonade, which became a running bit among listeners. New Amsterdam Vodka heard the audience and in 2019 formalized the partnership, creating Pink Whitney as a pre-mixed, ready-to-enjoy bottled version of the combination Whitney had been recommending. The response was immediate — Pink Whitney became one of the fastest-selling flavored vodkas in American spirits history.

The base is New Amsterdam's standard five-times-distilled, three-times-filtered wheat vodka — clean, neutral, and smooth at 30% ABV (60 proof), lower than unflavored vodka specifically to make the product more accessible for drinking ice cold or as a chilled shot. The pink lemonade flavor is added at production, creating a ready-to-drink profile that is sweet and refreshing without being cloying.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fresh pink lemonade — sweet citrus, raspberry-like berry undertones, and the clean neutral vodka base underneath.
• Palate: Sweet and refreshing with pink lemonade character. The 30% ABV keeps it smooth and accessible. Easy drinking, clean, and crowd-pleasing.
• Finish: Sweet and clean. The lemonade tartness cuts through the sweetness on the close for a refreshing finish.
