New Amsterdam Coconut Vodka Review
Coconut is a tricky flavor, but New Amsterdam Coconut Vodka does it well.
Released in July, 2013
Coconut is not one of my favorite flavors so it takes a lot to impress me when it comes to spirits that take on this flavor. That said, New Amsterdam Coconut Vodka is one of the few coconut vodkas that I actually enjoy.
It is crisp and clean and the coconut is not overly sweet, but has a nice creamy aspect. These two qualities are what I look for in a great coconut-flavored vodka and this one has it in perfect harmony.
At $15 a bottle, you may be surprised that you can enjoy this coconut vodka straight. It gets even better with a splash of club soda or ginger ale.
Mixing this is a breeze and I doubt that you could go wrong. It is an obvious companion for pineapple juice and it makes a great substitution in simple tropical cocktails like the Bay Breeze.
For a martini-esque cocktail, I really like the brand's Coconut Cove. In it, this vodka is mixed with coconut water and lychee juice to create a light, non-creamy tropical flavor.
