What is Pink Whitney?

It was inspired by the former NHL player Ryan Whitney.

Then like all things Hollywood, a collab was born in the form of a new drink- the Pink Whitney.
So, what exactly is a Pink Whitney? It is a New Amsterdam Pink Lemonade Flavored Vodka.
It has a light pink hue that looks and smells divine.

A bottle of Pink Whitney will cost you about $15, which is a good deal.
What Does Pink Whitney Taste Like?
