Recently I found myself desiring a delicious Autumnal cocktail, without all of the heat. After all, it's still in the 70s around here. Not to mention, [don't throw things at me, BUT] I'm a little over pumpkin already this season--so it was time to move onto apples! Spiked apple cider isn't really anything new, BUT have you heard about Fireball?
Maybe Fireball is more mainstream than I realize (my knowledge of novelty liquor is kind of trapped in 2010), or maybe it's still a semi-obscure hipster thing. Whatever it is, it's ridiculously delicious. It's whiskey. It tastes like Red Hots. It is, without question, the perfect compliment to some spiced cider.
Ingredients
1 cup apple juice
Pinch of each of the following: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves (to taste)
1.5 oz Fireball Whiskey
Sugar, cinnamon
Directions
- Rim a cocktail glass with sugar and cinnamon, and place in the freezer to chill. Heat the apple juice and spices in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Once apple juice is properly infused, allow to cool for 5 minutes. Pour Fireball into the cocktail glass, then add cider. The cold glass with chill your beverage.
