Deerfield, IL (September 16, 2014) – Pinnacle® Vodka, a leading imported premium vodka brand, has released a new flavor innovation, Pinnacle® CranApple Vodka, just in time for autumn festivities. The perfect addition for fall entertaining, Pinnacle CranApple Vodka delivers an exceptional blend of tart cranberries and sweet green apples, complete with the delectably smooth finish that fans have come to expect from the brand.
