Frequently asked questions
This isn’t our normal cocktail vibe around here, but hey: we had a bottle of Fireball and and got curious. And confession: it was one of our favorite cereals growing up. As two cocktail experts and certified mixologists, we’ve made hundreds of cocktails: and this one is too fun!

Use a small glass and add ice. Drinking over ice also helps to dilute the flavors a bit, which provides a better balance. We prefer it this way. Or, use a shot glass. This drink is so sweet that we understand why people take it as a shot.
It is very sweet. You’ll need to be a major sweet drink lover to enjoy this one. (We prefer cocktails that are a little more balanced.) Add ice to dilute the flavors a bit. We like drinking it as a slow sipper with ice, so it mellows the drink a bit. Make it for the novelty. It’s fun to try this novelty, but this isn’t one we’d drink on the regular. There are so many more great cocktails for that!
Fireball Cinnamon Whisky is a mix of Canadian whisky and cinnamon flavoring, developed in Canada in the 1980’s. It was originally part of a flavored schnapps line of Seagram’s, and is now produced by the Sazerac Company. What does it taste like? Fireball whisky tastes sweet, with a strong aftertaste of cinnamon candy and spicy whiskey. What ABV is Fireball? Fireball is 33% ABV. Standard whiskey must be 40% ABV, so Fireball isn’t technically whiskey. It’s actually a flavored whiskey or specialty distilled liquor. It’s so sweet, it actually tastes more like a liqueur! More drinks with Fireball? Try Fireball and Apple Cider or a Fireball Old Fashioned.
RumChata is a cream liqueur made in Wisconsin with Caribbean rum, cream, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. It’s similar to Baileys Irish Cream, but Baileys is made in Ireland with Irish whiskey. RumChata was inspired by the Mexican and Spanish drink horchata, a creamy drink made with soaked rice or almonds and cinnamon that resembles milk. But Rumchata has actual dairy—and rum! Despite the name on the bottle, it doesn’t actually contain horchata (read more here). What does it taste like? RumChata tastes very sweet and creamy, with cinnamon and dark rum notes on the finish. You can use it similar to Baileys. Grab a bottle if you love sweet drinks. What else can you make with it? Try a RumChata Coffee or RumChata White Russian.
