What To Mix With Pink Whitney

Vodka as a standalone drink is tasteless, which makes it a perfect base for most cocktails.

However, this characteristic is shared by lemonade too. Hence, the combination of the two is a match made in heaven as a cocktail base or a simple drink.

Also, if you are wondering how pink lemonade is different from a regular one, it is the addition of color only.

1. Carbonated Drinks

Let’s start with the most popular option, i.e., sodas, as the fizz in these beverages is the thing that keeps you coming back for more. That’s why adding sodas to your Pink Whitney creates a fizzy cocktail, enhancing the flavor and taste.

The best match with Pink Whitney is Sprite, but that doesn’t mean you can’t try it with Coke, which adds more sweetness to the drink.

But if you consider the health effects of these sugar bombs and the adverse effects of diet sodas, an alternate fizz option is much needed here.

So, if you want to keep your Pink Whitney on the healthy side, try adding sparkling water to your cocktail for that extra fizz.

To make this cocktail blend, keep the ratio 1:2-3 ounces of Pink Whitney to Sprite/Coke. That’s all!
