Kinky Pink Vodka Review: A Sweet Sip with a Twist + 3 Fun Cocktails & Desi Food Pairings

Looking to try something new in your cocktail lineup? Enter Kinky Pink — a bright, blush-colored vodka fusion that’s got the vibes of a pool party in a bottle… but does it live up to the hype? Let’s sip, shake, and pair it with some Desi delights to find out!

What Is Kinky Pink?

Kinky Pink is a flavored vodka fusion — think premium vodka mingled with grapefruit, passion fruit, and blood orange. It’s fruity, flirty, and flaunts a pink lemonade-esque flavor that’s a bit tamer than New Amsterdam Pink Whitney. It’s definitely easy to drink straight, especially at room temp (my personal preference), but it might not be for everyone.

Price-wise, you're looking at about $20 for a 1-liter bottle. Not a bad deal if you're into sweet, citrusy vodkas. But here’s the tea: while it's smooth and simple to sip, I personally found it a little too sweet, and the smell was just… different. Not bad, just weird. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Verdict: Neutral. Would I buy it again? Probably not. But if you're a fan of flavored vodkas or just want to shake things up with a pink drink, it’s worth trying the shooter bottle first!

Desi Food Pairings That Work

While Kinky Pink leans sweet, you can still find flavor harmony with the right Desi dishes:

Appetizers:

• Aloo Tikki Chaat – That tangy-sweet combo matches the fruity vodka

• Hakka Noodles – A spicy counterbalance to the sweetness

• Tandoori Prawns – Smoky and citrusy = yes, please

Main Course:

• Chicken Tikka Masala – Rich, creamy, and spicy plays nice with fruity vodka

• Paneer Makhani – That sweetness-on-sweetness combo can be magical

• Goan Fish Curry – Coconut meets citrus? Match made in flavor heaven

Final Thoughts

Kinky Pink isn’t trying to be your go-to, serious vodka. It’s here to party. It’s a vibe. But is it your vibe? That depends.

If you love light, sweet, and fruity cocktails, you’ll probably enjoy it. If you’re more of a dry, spirit-forward drinker — maybe pass, or try that shooter size first.

No harm in experimenting, though — that’s what cocktails and good Desi food are all about, right?
