• 1 part Milk Splash Maple Syrup

Shake with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a cherry.

Irish Cookie

• 2 parts Pinnacle Cookie Dough
• 1 part Irish Cream
• 1 part Milk

Shake with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. Top with a dollop of whipped cream.

Cookie Cola

Mix in a glass with ice and garnish with a cherry.

Chocolate Macaroon

• 2 parts Pinnacle Cookie Dough
