New Amsterdam, Barstool Sports launch flavored vodka

Modesto, Calif.-based New Amsterdam Spirits Co. has teamed up with New York-based Barstool Sports and its No. 1 hockey podcast, Spittin’ Chiclets, to launch a new pink lemonade-flavored vodka: the Pink Whitney. The Pink Whitney was inspired by the favorite drink of Ryan Whitney, former NHL player and co-host of Spittin’ Chiclets. The drink went viral in October 2018 after Whitney shared his favorite way to drink New Amsterdam Vodka — with pink lemonade — on the first episode of the podcast that New Amsterdam sponsored.
