Pinnacle Vodka Appreciation Month : Week 2 : Cookie Dough

In the second installment, we take a look at one of the more out there flavors that most probably wouldn’t have expected to exist.






Review :

I Actually had high hopes for this one after trying the Glazed Donut vodka a few weeks back. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. Whether having a straight shot, or mixing with something else, this flavor is dead on the taste of cookie dough. I would even wager to say that I prefer it over the Donut flavor. So far, my favorite pairings have been with dairy based products like Nesquik, or the Starbucks pre-made drinks. It was even great with some Kahlua mixed in, as well as mixed and matched with some of the other Pinnacle flavors. Definitely try it with the whipped cream and a little bit of milk, it is amazing. Like the other flavors, this one was also only 35% alcohol, and I have seen it at every Bevmo in my city, and on their website. Again, if you are still not sure where it might be available, check out the Pinnacle website. They have a useful store locator.


Breakdown :

The Bottle : Same standard Pinnacle bottle, which initially got points, but I have to knock a few off in future reviews because it is a “Standard Bottle”.

Score : 10

The Taste : This stuff tastes amazing. Try it in some of the mixes I listed, or find a few of your own, and let me know what you think, because I am always looking for new recipes.

Score : 25

The Buzz : Another mellow buzz. I personally am able to finish off a whole bottle by myself, but that might be too much for some people. If you find a drink recipe that you love, then you will probably not have an issue getting drunk.

Score : 25

The Cost : Just for the record, I have complaints about standard bottles, but not standard prices. Depending on where you are able to find it, or if you have a Bevmo club card, you are looking to pay between $11-$13 per bottle. In my opinion, still very reasonable.

Score : 25

Total Score : 85

Like I said, if you have any ideas of what else would be great, let me know. Or if you think I am wrong, email me as well.

Cheers.
