Pink Whitney Drink Origin
This mixed drink was inspired by a product sold by New Amsterdam Vodka. One of the Spittin’ Chiclets Podcast hosts, “Ryan Whitney,” inspired the drink’s name. Ryan used to play in the National Hockey League, and his podcast is currently massively successful.
The Pink Whitney, a vodka and pink lemonade cocktail developed by New Amsterdam’s Ryan, is available in a bottle.

Pink Whitney Variation Mixes
To elevate your next cocktail experience, I have compiled a complete list of mixes that go well with Pink Whitney.
Pink Whitney Sprite
Carbonated beverages like Sprite pair well with vodkas, making them a fantastic addition to the Pink Whitney. When combined, the vodka’s lemon taste in Pink Whitney and Sprite’s citrus notes shine through.
Pink Whitney and Sprite can be combined to form a slushie or poured over ice to make a cocktail.
Pink Whitney Pineapple Juice
Although cocktails made with pineapple vodka are not uncommon, even the most basic of cocktails may be transformed with the addition of Pink Whitney.
The Pink Whitney, a combination of pineapple juice and lemonade with a splash of vodka, strikes the ideal balance between fruity sweetness and tart sharpness.
Pink Whitney Limeaid
Limeaid is a beverage flavored with lime juice or lime concentrate. Like lemonade, it’s produced by squeezing lemons and sugar into water, but limeade has a sweet and sour flavor.
Limeaid’s balanced sourness, sweetness, and tang make it an ideal companion for the Pink Whitney.
Other Variations
