Cocktails with Fireball Whisky are full of flavor and sweetness at the same time. The cinnamon whisky reminds me of those red hot candies. And I don’t hate those.

Looking for Fireball mixed drinks? Here is a list of easy Fireball cocktails to make at home right now. Cinnamon Whisky is a delicious ingredient to use in all kinds of yummy drinks!

Tips

If you don’t want to buy a full bottle (I think it comes in a few sizes), you could always buy a mini-bar size to try out first.

If you don’t like strong cocktails, just lessen the amount of alcohol you use. For example, if it calls for 2 ounces of whiskey, start with 1 ounce and taste to make sure it’s balanced with the other flavors.

You may lose a little of the cinnamon flavor in this instance, but I always like to make sure you know you modify your cocktail recipes to suit your tastes and needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Fireball bad for you?

There was an incident with ingredients, years ago, in another country, that kind of wasn’t great. It’s been fixed and was not something that happened here. And, like anything, moderation is best.

The issue with Fireball is that all that sugar makes it really easy to drink. Which means you may drink more than you set out to. And sugary drinks often create mega hangovers… so use caution (as always). Also, here’s my favorite hangover supplement just in case…

What’s the best way to drink Fireball?

Shots, shots, shots. Just kidding. But it is very popular to take Fireball shots. And because it’s sweet, they are way easier to drink than standard whisky.

You can also sip it over a little ice on its own. But I think cocktails with Fireball are also delicious!

What mixes well with Fireball?

Fireball is versatile. While it does have a cinnamon flavor, it can pretty much be used in place of whisky in any recipe where you would naturally find cinnamon. And you can always mix it with a little cola to keep things easy.
