Apple Cider Fireball

The drizzle of caramel sauce and sweet apple cider lend just the right amount of sweetness to balance the red-hot cinnamon flavor of a shot of Fireball whiskey.

Cranberry juice adds a fruity note and even more seasonal flavor to this delicious spiked apple cider.

I served this cocktail over ice, and it's so refreshing, but you can easily warm it up for a fireball apple cider hot toddy.

Either way you drink this cocktail, hot or cold, every sip will be oh so delicious.

Garnish with an apple slice and, if you want to get fancy, a cinnamon stick makes a fun stirrer! 

Fireball and apple cider is perfect for serving at gatherings in the fall or while watching a football game.

Serve as a hot cocktail when all snuggled up under a blanket for movie night.

The recipe has measurements for a single serving but you can easily increase the ingredient amounts and make a pitcher for a crowd, 

This apple fireball will be the perfect drink for your fall parties this year.

You can make a big batch and keep it warm in a slow cooker. Add some apple slices and float cinnamon sticks and you'll have yourself an ideal way to serve this hot apple cider drink.

What is Fireball whiskey?

Fireball whiskey is a combination of Canadian whiskey, cinnamon flavor and sweeteners.

Fireball cinnamon whiskey will remind you of the spicy flavor of red hots cinnamon candy.
