Dr. Amanda Renee was born and raised in the city of Chicago. Chicago is known for its unique architecture, museums, sports teams, die-hard sports fans, skyscrapers, and of course many, many options of great tasting food. Living in a fast-paced environment was an amazing experience. As a native of the city, she enjoys the buzzing energy of the people and the stunning beautiful skylines. Having traveled all over the world, experiencing different places, people and cultures, she is drawn to the heartbeat of each new town. From live entertainment, plays and jazz clubs, to the laughter of camaraderie – one thing is for certain – there is never a dull moment. Her great grandfather was a bootlegger and moonshiner of whisky in the late 1800’s in Mississippi. Then the operation moved to Chicago during the prohibition era. Learning about her ancestry gave her the added motivation to enter into the spirits industry. After all, it was in her DNA! What you have in front of you is the testament and commitment to develop a premium vodka. Thus, her ancestry along with the love of the city became the foundation of CITYNYTES™ vodka.

CITYNYTES™ was founded on a vision to create a smooth silky vodka that did not sting or leave a bitter aftertaste; but instead heightened the senses. The unique flavor combinations of and blending them with the rustic taste of hemp delivers a mouthwatering surprise. Soft on the palate with a small bite, is what makes CITYNYTES™ an one-of-a-kind award winning extraordinary vodka. Years in the making, taking time to perfect the formula ensuring the recipe was right was the most important objective in the process. Whether you are enjoying a drink with family and friends or taking it easy, savor every moment with the CITYNYTES™ experience.
