Ingredients Needed
- 12-ounce can frozen lemonade (plain or pink lemonade)
- ½ cup Pink Whitney vodka
- 2 ounces fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup frozen raspberries or strawberries
Ingredient Tips and Substitutions
- Instead of lemon juice, you can substitute lime juice or grapefruit juice depending on your preference
- Pink lemonade is a color rather than a specific flavor, so feel free to use strawberry, raspberry, or anything else pink to customize the flavor!
- You can also add Kool-Aid or pink Starburst drink packets for extra flavor (and sweetness) if you want! Though, as written, I find this drink plenty sweet
- Depending on desired consistency, you may want to add some water or liquid pink lemonade to thin the drink out (or extra ice to thicken)
- As written, this drink is lower strength based on the ratio of alcohol to mixers (making it great for sipping and relaxing over an extended period). For a stronger drink, you can increase the vodka to 1 cup (or as desired)
How to Make a Pink Whitney Slush: Instructions
- Add frozen lemonade, frozen fruit, lemon juice, and vodka to a blender
- Blend on medium, smoothie, or puree (depending on available settings) until a slushy consistency forms. Adjust with ice cubes to thicken, or use water or some fresh lemonade to thin if needed

Recipe FAQs
What Kind Of Alcohol Is In Pink Whitney?
Pink Whitney is a flavored vodka, with its base being premium vodka infused with the sweet and tangy taste of pink lemonade.
It’s produced by New Amsterdam Vodka, known for its smooth and versatile vodka offerings.
What Do You Mix Pink Whitney With?
Pink Whitney is highly versatile and pairs well with mixers such as lemon-lime soda, lemonade, tonic water, club soda, cranberry juice, or even iced tea for a refreshing twist.
It can also be blended with ice to make slushies or enjoyed simply over ice.
What Percentage Of Alcohol Is Pink Whitney?
Pink Whitney has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 30%, which is slightly lower than standard unflavored vodkas, which typically range around 40% ABV.
This makes Pink Whitney a milder option, ideal for those who prefer a lighter, more approachable drink.
Tips For the Best Pink Whitney Slushie
- You can always add more Pink Whitney or even some regular vodka which is a higher ABV if you want to increase the strength of the drink
- This drink is on the sweeter side. To reduce sweetness, use more lemon juice, or use water to dilute the drink more (or make your own lemonade instead of concentrate and add extra ice)
- The frozen fruit will leave some fruit chunks and/or seeds in your drink. If you don’t want that, you can always omit them, making sure to use pink lemonade concentrate and/or adding some fruit flavored syrup or a drink packet (like pink Starburst) to compensate for flavor
- As the drink sits, it will naturally separate a bit. Give it a stir once in a while to keep it well mixed!
Serving and Presentation Tips
- Glassware. Serve a Pink Whitney slushie in any glass you like! A pint glass, hurricane glass, martini glasses, mug, wine glass, or mason jar are all great choices. To keep your drink frozen longer, chill your glass in advance!
- Garnishes are optional, but can include lemon wheels, fresh berries, or a sprig of fresh mint
- Store in the freezer to keep the drink cold in between glasses!

It’s a lovely drink to make by the batch, so you can serve it up at your pool party, beach day, summer barbecue, family reunions, backyard days, and more! I like to enjoy a glass as a reward over the scent of freshly mowed grass!
The wonderful combination of pink lemonade with vodka and your favorite summer fruits is a delicious combination, and gives you a lot of versatility for customization too!
