Fireball Punch "big batch cocktails" are made with orange juice, apple cider, and Fireball whisky that tastes like cinnamon red hot candies. Besides, could it just be the prettiest bowl of Thanksgiving punch? Hey, and why not serve it for a Halloween party with spooky appetizers.
All you need is a punch bowl or large pitchers and a few simple ingredients.
It's just the right sweetness and tastes like Fall with crisp apples, fresh oranges, and spicy cinnamon...

Punch or Batch Cocktails Tips
- Use a large punch bowl with a ladle.
- Serve in large drink pitchers.
- Use a beverage dispenser container.
- Add frozen ice molds to keep your drinks cold.
- Add a few small frozen apples to keep the punch chilled~they really work!
What You Will Need...

- Regular Orange or Blood Orange Slices
- Thick Orange Peel Slices
- Cinnamon Sticks
- Star Anise
- Apple Slices
What To Serve With Fireball Punch?
Host an appetizer party! Or make this punch for a Halloween Party, you might want to look over those spooky recipes I have for you...lot's of creative fun ways to serve your guests.
Setup a Fall Crostini Bar, and let your guests mix and mingle as they try different combinations. Have a couple of other fun finger foods like Salted Caramel Apple Dip, and an Everything Bagel Cheeseball shaped just like a little pumpkin-cute!
People love a mix of hot appetizers fresh from the oven to enjoy while sipping their drinks. Baked Brie and Bacon Palmiers are made with only 3 ingredients and are scrumptious. But the recipe that everyone will want is Jalapeno Popper Dip. Really, no seriously.
Each time I take that dip out of the oven at a party, people just love it. I serve it with those large curled corn chips and ALWAYS double the recipe because people love it that much.
Now your party plan is ready!
This punch is sooooo yummy...and you won't be stuck making drinks all night!
Punch Bowl Ice Molds and Tips
- Use small containers that fit in your punch bowl - small plastic containers, cake molds, bundt pans, and small bowls all work!
- Clear a flat place in your freezer, use a small tray to catch any spills and to set your filled molds on the tray.
- Place your fruit, herbs, and spices inside the mold-use edible items.
- Fill each container with distilled water<(it will freeze clear!) about half way, and add more water and decorations and refreeze till you reach the top of the mold.
- Freeze at least one day before your party.
- Run water over the mold to pop out the ice block and place it in your punch bowl right as your guests arrive!
- PRO TIP: Frozen small apples work great and look pretty too..they won't water down your punch and add such a festive element!

Hi! Can you tell me what size of frozen oj to purchase for the punch?
Thank you!
Hey Patty!! Grab a standard regular 12 ounce can of frozen OJ. I will update the recipe so its clear, and thank you. Enjoy your Fireball Punch, it is a lot of fun....
Thanks so much, Lisa!
We’re making this for a big party this weekend! I’ll let you know how it goes!
Patty, I am sure it will be great, guys even like it (well who wouldn't with Fireball!!!) Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
I host Thanksgiving every year for a group of about 15-20 people, with at least 10-12 of us being drinkers =) I make a different punch every year to cut the cost on alcohol. This punch was a hit, even for the guys who tend to whine about my fruity punch, LOL. Will definitely be making this again because of how much everyone loved it!
Yay!! Oh Zamara, thank you for your great comment! I think guys love the idea of the Whisky, then there is that Fireball thing...so glad you loved it, and your family gave it an all thumbs up. Hilarious they whine about the fruity punch...well yes this has fruit but isn't too sweet. Did you see I also have the Fireball Cocktails? Those inspired this recipe, because my friends love those too!
Lisa,
This is SUCH a great punch recipe! We made it this past weekend for a family get together and it was amazing! So simple to make and SUCH great flavors! Perfect for fall & winter!
Do I reconstitute the OJ or just throw in the concentrate? Also making ahead for a tailgate. Thought I should keep the Prosecco out until just before serving. Would you mix into the pitchers or just have everyone add a bit to their glass? Thank you!
Hello Kate! Yes just pour in the orange juice concentrate. I let it sit on the counter so its easier to pour, and if I were taking it to a tailgate I would add iced Prosecco at the game! That way it will be a little easier to transport. Have a great game, I home your team wins! And thanks for making the Fireball Punch!
