Whether you’re lounging by the pool in summer or cozying up by the fire in winter, this Fireball and cream soda cocktail is the perfect companion. The fiery cinnamon kick of Fireball whiskey, paired with the creamy, vanilla richness of soda, creates a delicious, two-ingredient drink is quick to make but impossible to forget.
Let’s Dish: What To Know
Main Ingredients: Fireball cinnamon whisky, cream soda, ice.
Quick Steps: Add ice, Fireball, and cream soda to a glass, stir gently, and serve.
Total Time & Yield: 2 minutes, serves 1.
Why This Recipe
- Our recipe uses a more balanced ratio of Fireball to cream soda, ensuring the cinnamon spice shines through without overwhelming the drink. Other recipes often opt for a higher soda-to-Fireball ratio, leaning heavily on the sweetness of cream soda, which can dull the warmth of the whiskey.
- Additionally, some variations add extra ingredients like whipped cream or RumChata, but we keep it straightforward, letting the two main ingredients speak for themselves.
- This approach preserves the classic “cinnamon roll in a glass” flavor while offering a quicker, easier preparation.
Fireball And Cream Soda Ingredients
Fireball cinnamon whisky brings a spicy kick with a hint of comforting cinnamon warmth to the cocktail. Cream soda’s sweet and creamy nature perfectly balances the heat of the Fireball.
You’ll need:
- 1 cup of ice
- ⅔ cup of cream soda
- 1½ ounces of Fireball cinnamon whisky
PRO TIP:
You can store your Fireball cinnamon whisky in the refrigerator to keep it cold, along with your cream soda, so your drink stays colder for longer, and the ice will not melt as quickly.
Substitutions and Additions
FIREBALL CINNAMON WHISKY: If you prefer a milder spice, you can substitute Fireball with a regular cinnamon-flavored whisky.
CREAM SODA: Experiment with different brands or flavors of cream soda to find your favorite combination. We used the classic A&W cream soda for this cocktail, but any brand that you prefer to drink will work just as well.
ICE: If you want to avoid dilution, consider using whisky stones or frozen cream soda cubes instead of regular ice.
How To Make This Fireball And Cream Soda Recipe
Making this adult beverage is as easy as adding everything to your glass and enjoying it.
STEP ONE: Add the ice, cream soda, and Fireball whisky to a 10-ounce highball glass. Gently stir with a cocktail spoon and enjoy.
PRO TIP:
If you don’t have a tall cocktail spoon to stir this drink, you can simply use a straw to gently combine the whisky and cream soda before enjoying this cocktail.
How To Serve
Enhance your Fireball and cream soda experience by pairing it with spicy snacks like jalapeño poppers or sweet treats like cinnamon sugar donuts.
For a unique twist, use this cocktail as a base for a boozy float by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
