Fireball Shot recipe — The liquid embodiment of bad decisions and good stories. Made with cinnamon whisky. Originally from Canada.
I'm that friend who convinces you to text your ex at 2 AM and somehow makes it seem like a great idea. I taste like Red Hots candy had a baby with regret, but in the most delicious way possible. I turn accountants into karaoke legends and make everyone suddenly fluent in friendship speeches.
Fireball outsold every other liquor brand in America except vodka in 2014, beating out whiskey giants like Jack Daniel's. It was temporarily banned in several European countries for containing propylene glycol, though the amount was actually less than what's found in many processed foods.
Originally created in the 1980s by Seagram as 'Dr. McGillicuddy's Fireball Whisky,' this cinnamon menace was reformulated and relaunched as simply 'Fireball' in 2007. What started as a cold-weather warmer in Canada somehow became America's party fuel of choice.
