One of our favorite brands, Pinnacle Vodka is kicking off Fall with a new flavor! I was excited to hear that Pinnacle will be adding CranApple to its already impressive portfolio of flavored vodka. As a fan of the CranApple flavor, I could not wait to give this new flavor a try. CranApple is a blend of tart cranberries and sweet green apples, complete with the delectably smooth finish.
“CranApple was created to embody one of our favorite flavor fusions: sweet apples and tart cranberries,” said Jason Dolenga, Senior Brand Director of Vodka at Beam Suntory. “CranApple is not only great for the season but with countless options for making simple and tasty cocktails, I think this will soon be a Pinnacle fan favorite.”
I personally enjoyed it on the rocks before whipping up a few concoctions on my own. It’s very flavorful and not too sweet as one might think. Pinnacle CranApple is a 70-proof, five-time distilled vodka that goes with just about anything.
Below are some suggested recipes when you get your hands on a bottle:
