Fireball Eggnog Ingredients

The cinnamon sugar coating on the rim of the glass brings both sweetness and a touch of warmth, balancing with the whisky’s cinnamon notes. 

Eggnog and Fireball Substitutions and Additions

EGGNOG: You can create this holiday cocktail with homemade eggnog if you’d prefer.

If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute it with almond milk or coconut milk eggnog for a dairy-free alternative. Be sure to use a good quality brand that does not have other flavors already added to it. 

FIREBALL WHISKY: For those who want to experiment, try other cinnamon-flavored liqueurs or even regular whisky for a different twist.

CANE SUGAR: Feel free to use brown sugar for a richer, caramelized flavor on the rim.

How To Make This Fireball Eggnog Recipe

Creating this Fireball eggnog is a breeze, and it’ll have you feeling like a mixologist in no time. Here’s how to do it:

STEP ONE: Place the water in a shallow dish to rim the low-ball (10 to 12-ounce) cocktail glass. In a separate shallow dish, stir together the cane sugar and cinnamon.

STEP TWO: Dip the rim of the glass in the water and then in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Set aside. 

STEP THREE: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the premade eggnog and Fireball whisky. Shake for 15-30 seconds or until the eggnog is really cold.

STEP FOUR: Pour the Fireball eggnog, while straining out the ice, into the cinnamon-sugar rimmed glass. Garnish with a pinch of the cinnamon sugar on top of the eggnog. You can also add a cinnamon stick for extra garnish.

Eggnog Fireball Storage

Here are a few easy storage tips when you have this tasty eggnog drink on the menu.

MAKE AHEAD: You can make it ahead by preparing the eggnog and whisky mixture and storing it in the fridge for up to a day before serving. 

You can make this ahead as a large batch if entertaining a crowd. You can use one quart (four cups) of premade eggnog mixed with three-quarters of a cup of Fireball whisky. Keep refrigerated and pour over ice in individual glasses as needed.

IN THE FRIDGE: Store any leftover Fireball eggnog in the fridge for up to two days. Give it a good shake before serving to recombine the ingredients.

IN THE FREEZER: While it’s not ideal to freeze this drink due to its creamy texture, you can freeze the eggnog portion if needed. 

Thaw it in the fridge overnight and recombine with Fireball whisky before serving.
