Production & Heritage

New Amsterdam Vodka is produced by E&J Gallo Winery in Modesto, California, one of the largest wine and spirits producers in the United States. The base spirit is made from grains sourced from America's heartland and undergoes five separate distillations — two more than many competing vodkas in its price tier — followed by triple filtration. The Mango expression takes that refined base and infuses it with natural mango flavoring, resulting in a spirit that foregrounds ripe tropical fruit while retaining the clean foundation the brand is known for.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Ripe Alphonso mango dominates the nose immediately, followed by secondary layers of papaya and passion fruit. The tropical bouquet is direct and inviting without artificial sweetness.

Taste: The entry is bright and juicy, recalling fresh-cut mango flesh. At mid-palate, papaya and passion fruit notes emerge, adding depth to the tropical profile. The sweetness is moderate and stays balanced against the clean grain spirit beneath.

Finish: Crisp and refreshing, with mango lingering briefly before fading. The triple filtration shows here — no harsh burn, just a smooth, quick exit.

How to Drink New Amsterdam Mango

Chilled and served over ice is the simplest way to enjoy this flavored vodka; a squeeze of lime sharpens the tropical notes. Its bold mango flavor and lower 35% ABV make it an accessible cocktail ingredient.

• Mango Mule: The ripe fruit character pairs naturally with ginger beer and lime, giving a tropical spin on the classic Moscow Mule.
• Tropical Vodka Sunrise: Layered with orange juice and grenadine, the mango intensity holds its own against the citrus and adds a lush middle note.
• Mango Martini: Shaken with a splash of pineapple juice and strained into a coupe, this lets the five-times-distilled smoothness carry the drink.

Best For

• Stocking a home bar for warm-weather entertaining
• Batch-mixing tropical punch for summer gatherings
• Budget-friendly cocktail experimentation with flavored vodkas
• Casual get-togethers where easy-drinking mixed drinks are the priority
