J.J. Whitley Pink Lemonade Vodka 70cl / 35%

J.J. Whitley Pink Lemonade Vodka is a citrus-led vodka-based spirit drink at 35% ABV in a 70cl bottle, flavoured to taste like a glass of pink lemonade. Lemon leads, softened by a light red-berry sweetness, so this citrus and berry spirit drink is sweet-tart rather than sugary. The brand pictures it finished simply with a splash of lemonade and a wedge of lemon on a sunny day. It suits garden parties, picnics and anyone who wants a summery long drink with minimal effort.

Tasting Pink Lemonade

• Nose: Lemon zest and raspberry, with a hint of candied cherry.
• Palate: Sweet-tart, with lemonade-like citrus and soft red berries.
• Finish: Fresh and fruity, with a gentle sherbet tingle.

How to serve J.J. Whitley Pink Lemonade

Serve it very cold in a tall glass with plenty of ice, a lemon wedge and a few raspberries. For a crowd, a pink lemonade vodka jug made with one part spirit to three parts cloudy lemonade keeps everyone topped up without fuss. Grilled chicken, summer salads and strawberry tarts all match its bright fruit.

How it compares

J.J. Whitley Lemon Citron Vodka is the drier, more purely citrus sibling with lemon and lime, while Pink Lemonade adds a berry note and extra sweetness. For a full flavoured vodka with real raspberry depth, J.J. Whitley Raspberry Vodka at 38% is the natural step up.
