Production & Heritage

New Amsterdam Coconut is produced at the E&J Gallo Winery facility in Modesto, California. The base spirit — New Amsterdam's flagship 80-proof vodka, itself an award winner — is distilled five times from grains sourced from America's heartland, then filtered three times before coconut flavoring is introduced. This five-times-distilled, three-times-filtered process is central to the brand's entire flavored lineup, ensuring a clean, neutral canvas that lets the coconut profile come through without harsh grain notes.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh coconut leads immediately on the nose, sweet and recognizably tropical. Behind it sits a faint grain-neutral softness that keeps the aromatics from turning cloying.

Taste: The entry is creamy and distinctly coconut-forward, quickly developing into toasted coconut and layered tropical fruit — pineapple, banana, mango, and papaya build a surprisingly complex fruit profile at mid-palate. A hint of sweet lime arrives toward the back, providing a clean citrus counterpoint that balances the sweetness.

Finish: Soft and mellow, with lingering toasted coconut and a light tropical sweetness that fades gently. The lime note reappears at the very end, lending a cleansing quality that invites the next sip.

How to Drink New Amsterdam Coconut

Chilled and served neat or over ice is the simplest way to appreciate the coconut and tropical fruit layering. Mixed drinks, however, are where this vodka truly earns its keep.

• Piña Colada: The toasted coconut base adds depth without needing heavy cream of coconut, keeping the drink lighter.
• Coconut Mule: Ginger beer and lime juice play off the vodka's sweet lime undertone for a tropical spin on a Moscow Mule.
• Coconut Lemonade: Simple lemonade stretches the tropical fruit notes into a refreshing, easy-to-build warm-weather drink.

Best For

• Building a tropical cocktail menu for a summer gathering
• Mixing approachable, crowd-friendly drinks at a backyard cookout
• Introducing someone to flavored vodkas with a well-rated, accessible bottle
• Stocking a home bar with a versatile coconut spirit at a reasonable price point
