Pinky Vodka

We would like to introduce you to Pinky, the world's most beautiful vodka. Since launching globally in 2008, Pinky's sexy and sophisticated bottle has been instantly recognizable, but it's the unique blush hue that has really turned heads.

Pinky Vodka is blended vodka created in Sweden in 2008. It became the second best-selling "super premium" vodka in World Duty Free stores, with 12% of category share in the year of its launch. The 80-proof (40% alcohol by volume) flavored vodkas are sold in the U.S. and globally in a perfume bottle, and are marketed as super ultra-premium.
The pretty color hides some lovely secrets.

Distilled five times from pure glacial water and slightly sweet winter wheat, Pinky is hand blended with violets, rose petals, and ten other botanicals to create a flavor kissed with the delicate fragrance of a midnight garden. The brand is currently owned by the United Breweries group.
