Is It Whiskey or Whisky?
The spelling difference comes from the translations of the word from the Scottish and Irish Gaelic forms. The Scottish spell it whisky and the Irish spell it whiskey with the ‘e’. In America, it is spelled Whiskey with the ‘e’ typically. Fireball Whisky is made in Canada and drops the ‘e’.
What Is Fireball Whisk(e)y?
According to the official Fireball website, the product was developed in Canada in the mid-1980s, and for a long time was little known outside of Canada.
Fireball Cinnamon Whisky is a mixture of whisky, and REAL cinnamon flavoring and sweeteners that is produced by the Sazerac Company. As of 2018, Fireball is among the top-selling whisky brands in the United States.
Is Fireball Made With Real Cinnamon?
YES! Real cinnamon is used in the production of the Whisky.
What Does Fireball Whisky Taste Like?
It tastes just like those little cinnamon red hot candies!
We used blood oranges, but regular oranges would work just as well! You can use a vegetable peeler, and cut long strips, secure with pieces of toothpicks to the cinnamon sticks, or simply float in the glass.
How To Make The Orange Peel Garnish:
Use a vegetable peeler, and cut strips of orange peels for garnish going around in a circle, set aside.

That garnish is over the top!!! I have heard about Fireball and now is the time to try it. Thank you!!!
