This Fireball jello shots recipe delivers a thrilling fusion of flavors.

Cherry-flavored jello combines with apple juice for fruity sweetness, while Fireball cinnamon whisky brings a bold and spicy kick.

Whipped topping adds creaminess, and cinnamon red-hot candies provide a crunchy, spicy finish.

You’ll need:

• 1 (3-ounce) box of cherry-flavored jello
• 1 cup of boiling water
• ½ cup of apple juice (I used Juicy Juice brand)
• ¾ cup of Fireball cinnamon whisky

For The Garnish:

• Squirt whipped topping
• Cinnamon Imperials red-hot candies

PRO TIP:

If you can’t find the 2-ounce plastic shot glasses with lids, they may be labeled as condiment cups. These can be used interchangeably. You can use any shot cups you prefer but keep in mind that your servings may differ from this recipe.

Substitutions And Additions

JELLO: You can substitute strawberry or black cherry jello, and these jello shots will still taste delicious.

You could even change it up and use orange jello for a different spin on the recipe.

APPLE JUICE: I suggest using regular apple juice for this Fireball cherry jello shots recipe rather than the freshly pressed kind.

The fresh-pressed, or cider, apple juices tend to have sediment that settles at the bottom of the bottles and needs to be shaken before drinking.

This makes the apple juices cloudy and can therefore make your Fireball jello shots look cloudy and not clear like this recipe.

FIREBALL CINNAMON WHISKY: If you prefer a milder or different flavor profile, consider using a different whiskey or liquor.

Options like bourbon or vanilla-flavored vodka can provide a distinct twist to your jello shots.

WHIPPED TOPPING: While squirt whipped topping adds creaminess, you can experiment with variations like flavored whipped creams or even a dollop of yogurt for a tangy contrast.

CINNAMON IMPERIALS RED-HOT CANDIES: If you’d like to explore alternative garnishes, crushed graham crackers or a sprinkle of cocoa powder can offer different textures and flavor profiles.

How To Make This Fireball Jello Shots Recipe

Let’s dive into making these fun bright red party treats.

STEP ONE: Place 12 (2-ounce) plastic jello shot cups, without the lids, onto a medium-sized sheet tray. 

STEP TWO: In a large mixing bowl or large liquid measuring cup with a pour spout, add the packet of cherry jello crystals and boiling water.

Whisk to dissolve the powdered cherry jello completely.

STEP THREE: Add the apple juice and Fireball cinnamon whiskey to the jello mixture and whisk for an additional 30 seconds to incorporate all the ingredients.

STEP FOUR: Pour the Fireball jello shot mixture evenly into the plastic jello shot cups. Refrigerate for four to six hours or up to overnight.

STEP FIVE: Once your Fireball jello shots have set up, you can garnish them with a squirt of whipped topping and a couple of cinnamon red hots candies.

Storage

Let’s dive into some helpful storage tips and recommendations to ensure your Fireball jello shots stay in perfect form.

IN THE FRIDGE: You can use a cookie sheet or dishes to stack your Jello shot cups on while they’re chilling so that you can stack them in the fridge.

You can also store the plastic cups in airtight containers to keep them contained from toppling over. The shots will keep for up to three days in the fridge.

IN THE FREEZER: Because of the gelatin and alcohol, this jello shot recipe doesn’t tend to freeze very well.

MAKE-AHEAD: You can make these cinnamon Fireball shots up to three days ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator with the plastic lids that come with the package of plastic 2-ounce shot cups.

You can garnish them once you are ready to serve.
