It is crisp and clean and the coconut is not overly sweet, but has a nice creamy aspect. It is good to see your renewed availability. août 3 2019, 8:05 pm. Is New Amsterdam smooth? This stuff is way TOO pleasant” ! Some vodkas are smooth and well-rounded; New Amsterdam is edgy and angular, like a New York skyscraper — but that's a good thing. Most of the reviews here are either 5 stars or 1, and I believe it to be a difference in what we want from a vodka. Try this one in a Vodka Tonic for a snappy highball and use it in any cocktail recipe that calls for citrus vodka. Take my word for it, stay away! Sometimes I buy vodka to use for cleaning, and take a nip to remind me why they are used for cleaning. Can’t drink Tito’s as it got me violently sick upon mistaking it for 19 dollar water. I really like this vodka for the price. Fuze usually doesn’t mix well, but New Amsterdam is almost completely flavorless. New Amsterdam Peach retains the smooth, cleanliness of their clear vodka has an ideal amount of flavor. After having gone through just about all the locally available Other kinds of liquor, in a search for “MY” drink. Which I will admit is pretty darn cool. Thanks RH Taylor, Reply Published December 17, 2013 6:18 pm. But I have windows to clean, so all is not lost. I mixed New Amsterdam Vodka with Fuze Tropical Punch. Oh it tastes clean alright. Of course you shouldn’t drink a whole bottle nevermind two but it’s easy to get carried away when it tastes so smooth and non alcohol like! Reply Published February 22, 2013 10:22 pm. It’s not enjoyable straight, even when cold. Coconut is a tricky flavor, but New Amsterdam Coconut Vodka does it well. Though not the best, this is a nice bottle to have in stock as a well gin and used in everyday gin cocktails. New Amsterdam is quickly gaining attention for their line of vodkas and there is a very good reason for it: quality at a great price. Citrus vodka is an essential in the bar and New Amsterdam Citron is a perfect, budget-friendly option. Also have full recollection of events in the morning after a wild one rather than the forgetful guilt trip and emptiness associated with most other vodkas (and drinks in general). I have drank this mixed with V Fusion,tastes absolutely fantastic.I have mixed it wit Bloody Mary mix,great.Have also drank it straight,slightly bitter but smooth.I will definitely buy it again!! I agree – great to get a UK perspective. I’ll be getting it again. If you prefer that sharp alcohol flavor, then this is not the vodka you are looking for. New Amsterdam does not make a good martini.All you can taste is the vermouth. I even used the orange to make orange jello shots and it was great. @ Robert, I mostly agree with your review. I’ll drain about a 750 ml of this stuff in an entire evening. (Hey, it took a few years, alright ? The nose neutral fresh mountain air. Personally, I like to mix blue Gatorade with my vodka –, Reply Published February 04, 2014 9:09 am. Cheers!!! These two qualities are what I look for in a great coconut-flavored vodka and this one has it in perfect harmony. Now, a bottle of New Amsterdam has a place in my freezer. Fucking rubbing alcohol clean. Amsterdam is the best bang for your buck. I definitely wouldn’t recommend drinking this straight, but mixed in cocktails, it’s not too bad. It’s Absolut and by the way Absolut is overrated garbage. Also the Bloody Mary is not good as New Amsterdam vodka turns Bloody Mary too bitter. Either way, me and my buddy decided to pick up a handle of this stuff in preparation for a hotel room party while on vacation, so we headed to the nearest walmart (yeah they sold liquor at this walmart). To compare, Luksusowa and Tito’s are also terrific in a vodka tonic, but Russian Standard Original highlights the bitterness of the tonic water and leaves an odd aftertaste behind. Reply Published November 22, 2014 3:15 pm. For the flavor, I appreciate how clean the finish is because berries tend to linger. The finish is thick, filled with citrus and considerably dry. New Amsterdam Peach Vodka is my personal favorite of the portfolio. If this vodka had the same brand awareness as Absolute they could charge the same price, I’m glad they don’t. It is an obvious companion for pineapple juice and it makes a great substitution in simple tropical cocktails like the Bay Breeze. BTW, how inexpensive is New Amsterdam vodka; does it challenge vodkas like Sobieski for the top value spot? Ok so I bought this after looking at that top review without looking at the readers review. The average price is around $10.81 per 750mL. However, I did notice a New Amsterdam Vodka delivery truck rolling out a few cases of this stuff to a local chain restaurant. In Virginia you can get a liter for $13. Limited selections of Vodka exist out here……I was looking for an economical vodka that is not offensive. This is the only vodka that doesn’t leave me hungover! I was actually surprised for the price, 1.75 L for $20, 5 times distilled and filtered thrice. Payed 15 dollars for the liter in Long Island, NY. I bought a cheap 1.75 L bottle and goddamn. It proved to be an excellent summer drink. This is the vodka that I’ve been keeping in my freezer. Mark up prices are rampant in NY. The only thing it has over those to cheap brands is the cool bottle. Rated 4 out of 5 based on 49 reviews. There is a slight bitterness, but it’s very easy to drink. I drink shots mostly all the time with the rare screwdriver now and then, so I drink my vodka from the freezer straight shot. 40.0. If you like IPAs or a cheap time, New Amsterdam is a good plan B vodka. New Amsterdam Vodka Unflavored Vodka New Amsterdam // California, USA Shop Now 10 sellers Details. I don't recommend this for the gin connoisseur or Dry Martini drinker, but for those who are fond of vodka (especially infused vodkas) it is a nice choice. Having tried many a different scotch, bourbon, brandy, tequila, rum, etc. Use this gin in those heavily-flavored gin cocktails that you don't want to mix the good stuff in. I am a vodka prude and am willing to admit the bias. The quality is considered to be great. I used to live near Modesto, so when I saw this at a budget price, I thought I’d give them a chance despite being grain based. The Peach Punch brings Peach Vodka, lime and orange juices, and elderflower liqueur to make up a sprightly and refreshing cocktail. The price is great and the quality is even better. I’ve tried many, many brands. I made a white Russian with this vodka tonight and it was ok. Although the above reviews are true, new Amsterdam does have quite a bitterness to it, but I’m quite the heavy weight and only a few vodka redbulls put me on my ass! I prefer it to Svedka (anathema to many I know), Sobieski, etc. Best vodka I ever tasted was Jewel of Russia. Stoli is just a bit more expensive, but worth it. I try a different brand every week or two, I still haven’t found anything I like better than stoli, but I’m enjoying the hunt! Mixing with New Amsterdam would not be a first choice for a Martini, in fact, I don't recommend it in cocktails that are that transparent. as a vodka should be. Sipped ice cold and straight. It gets even better with a splash of club soda or ginger ale. I forgot to mention this, but if you want a Vodka that is similar in price and actually is good try Vikingfjord. The buzz was smooth and quick with no headache the next day. Its nose is musty; not quite the floor drain. Rated 4 out of 5 based on 49 reviews. I buy this stuff in Minnesota for around 10 bucks a litre. Unflavored Vodka. Mixes pretty well. I am even hesitant to recognize anything not made from potatoes as a vodka. And after being in the freezer a while it’s thick like syrup. New Amsterdam followed suite in their Red Berry Vodka, and combined red raspberry and strawberry.
