Beat the heat: Whipped Wednesdays

As the rest of the country gets ready for fall by breaking out the long sleeves and putting the lawn chairs in storage, for Southern California the summer heat doesn’t really kick in until August. With summer lasting well into October and many heat waves still to come, our lawn chairs are still on active duty. And so are the blenders.

Nothing beats the heat better than a refreshing frozen cocktail. And Pinnacle Whipped Cream Vodka is the trending spirit amongst sweaty Hollywood hipsters this summer that put a tasty adult spin on the root beer float. It tastes just like the one mom used to make for you as a kid but with a major kick. And with 30 flavors available, Pinnacle Vodka has enough cocktail recipes to get you through the rest of the California summer and beyond.

Root Beer Float

  • 2 parts Pinnacle Whipped Cream Vodka
  • 4 parts Root beer
  • 2 scoops vanilla ice cream

Blend all ingredients until smooth. Pour into a tall glass and top with whipped cream.

You can find Pinnacle Whipped Cream Vodka and other fantastic flavors in Los Angeles at Vendome Wine & Spirits, Circus Liquors and your local BevMo.
