Pink Whitney Vodka is a smooth 60-proof vodka with 30% alcohol by volume (ABV) made by the New Amsterdam Spirits Company of Modesto, California. This product got its start when the hosts of the podcast “Spittin’ Chicklets” started experimenting with mixing drinks and came up with the Pink Whitney recipe.
The new drink was so popular that the New Amsterdam Spirits Company collaborated with Bis and Whit (Paul Bissonnette and Ryan Whitney) by adding “notes of refreshing lemon” to their vodka to create a new product known as the Pink Whitney.
Pink Whitney, on its own, is delicious and enjoyed neat by many. But certain mixers enhance and add to that delightful pink lemonade flavor to create many different cocktails. The best mixers include all citrus fruit juices and carbonated sodas.
Here are the 12 best mixers for Pink Whitney.
1. Club Soda
Pink Whitney Vodka has a delicious pink lemonade flavor on its own. Adding club soda allows that flavor to shine through while reducing the alcohol bite.

5. Grapefruit Juice
Pink Whitney Vodka is popular for its sweet and tart flavor. Some folks, however, prefer the tart over the sweet taste. Mixing Pink Whitney with grapefruit juice accentuates the tart flavor and creates a more flavorful and refreshing drink without the overly sweet taste.
The combination of Pink Whitney and grapefruit juice results in a drink called a greyhound. This is a classic drink that was made popular nationwide back in the day circa 1950 when the restaurants in the Greyhound Bus terminals added their version of the greyhouse mixed drink to their menus.
To make the greyhound, pour one shot of Pink Whitney over ice into a rocks glass, fill with fresh (if you have it on hand) grapefruit juice, stir to mix, and garnish with a lime twist. This is another quick and easy drink that makes the bartender’s life easier.
6. Lemon Juice
Pink Whitney Vodka is made by combining the sweet and tart flavors of pink lemonade with Amsterdam Spirits Company’s excellent vodka. By using lemon juice as a mixer, the tart taste is accentuated making this combination more tart and less sweet.
For those who prefer a tart taste, pour one shot of Pink Whitney over ice in a rocks glass, fill the glass with lemon juice, stir to mix, and be prepared to get your pucker on. Garnish with a lemon or lime twist, and enjoy. This is one taste you must try.
7. Lemonade
Adding lemonade to Pink Whitney Vodka is another method of ramping up the tart taste. But, because lemonade also contains sugar, the dramatic effect of adding even more tart to this drink is tempered. This combination will serve the purpose of increasing the lemonade flavor and reducing the alcohol bite.
Pour one shot of Pink Whitney over ice into a rocks glass, fill with lemonade, stir to combine, and garnish with a lemon twist or a couple of maraschino cherries to dress it up. This is another quick and easy drink to mix.
8. Limeade
Pink Whitney Vodka and limeade create one of the more refreshing cocktails by adding crisp and tangy citrus notes that make this drink special. The addition of limeade balances the sweet and tart tastes of the vodka.
For a fast and easy version of Pink Whitney and limeade, pour 2 ounces of the vodka over ice in a cocktail glass, add 2 ounces of limeade and 4 ounces of any lemon-lime soda. Garnish with a lime twist and a few fresh strawberries or raspberries for a refreshing drink that looks good enough to serve for that special occasion.
9. Orange Juice
Make your own version of a classic screwdriver for a delicious and refreshing two-ingredient cocktail that is sure to please. The addition of orange juice to Pink Whitney Vodka perfectly balances the sweet and sour flavors.
Just keep the one-to-two ratio in mind when preparing the Pink Whitney Screwdriver. Pour 2 ounces of vodka into a cocktail glass filled with ice, add 4 ounces of orange juice (fresh if available), stir to combine, and garnish with a fresh orange slice. You’re gonna love it.
