We just brought in the Pinnacle Melon Vodka this week and I’m sure there are many people wondering what to do with it – other than mix it with Club Soda that is.  Here are some recipe ideas.  (I didn’t think these up all on my own either.  They are from the Pinnacle Vodka website.  Click on the link above to get more recipe ideas for other Pinnacle flavours we carry – such as, Cotton Candy, Whipped Cream & Rootbeer.)
