What Is Fireball Whisk(e)y?
Fireball Cinnamon Whisky is a mixture of whisky, and REAL cinnamon flavoring and sweeteners that is produced by the Sazerac Company. With estimated sales of at least $150 million in 2015, it is the best-selling liqueur in the United States. Its foundation is Canadian whisky, and the taste otherwise resembles the candy with a similar name, Ferrara Candy Company’s “Atomic Fireball” candy.
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. In addition to the United States and Canada, Fireball is now also widely available in various other countries.
Is Fireball Made With Real Cinnamon?
YES! Real cinnamon is used in the production of the Whisky (read below why whisky is spelled without the “e”)
What Does Fireball Whisky Taste Like?
It tastes just like those little cinnamon red hot candies!
Why Is The “E” Missing in Whisky on the label?
According to the Fireball website, Fireball Cinnamon Whisky traces its roots back to Canada where it originates, where “whisky” is spelled without the “E”.
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, set aside.

I love fall! and really enjoy the slower pace this time of year. It is time for couch time, good books, hot coffee, soup, and blankets cuddled watching football. Wishing you, your family, and friends time to relax and enjoy the fall season.
Happy Fall Y’all…
All the Best,
Lisa

My roommate’s friend brought us a bottle of Fireball and we didn’t know what to do with it. We did a search and found your recipe and it was really good and easy to make. Needless to say, we no longer have the Fireball any longer, but now we know exactly what to do with it thanks to you!
That garnish is over the top!!! I have heard about Fireball and now is the time to try it. Thank you!!!
