How To: Spice Up Your Brunch with Pinnacle Vodka’s New Flavors

Brunch is a staple in pretty much every urbanite’s life. What started as a formal buffet in Britain in the 1830’s, has now become a booze filled social gathering for many Americans. This is the time you get all the ‘important’ updates from your friends, chat about your team’s standing, and of course throw back a few adult beverages. We all know the staples: Mimosa, Bellinis, Bloody Marys and Margaritas.

The staples are good, but Pinnacle Vodka has found a way to make them better! The vodka brand recently released two new flavors: Habanero and Mimosa.

Pinnacle Mimosa Vodka and Pinnacle Habanero Vodka are five times distilled with a smooth, premium taste:

Pinnacle Mimosa Vodka offers the refreshing combination of juicy orange and crisp champagne flavors with a short and sweet finish. 30% ABV / 60 Proof.
Pinnacle Habanero Vodka offers a spicy and sweet taste of ripe, juicy chili peppers with a lingering warm finish. 35% ABV / 70 Proof.

With the new flavors, it’s even simpler to put a twist on classic brunch cocktails.
