Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 5 ounces Hot Apple Cider
- 2 ounces Fireball Whiskey
Optional Garnishes
- 1 ounce Cool Apple Cider
- Cinnamon Sugar
- Red Apple Slices
- Cinnamon Sticks
- Whole Star Anise
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass Rim: Pour about 1 ounce of cool apple cider onto a small plate. Dip the rim of your serving glass into the apple cider to moisten it, so the cinnamon sugar will stick.
- Coat the Rim: On a clean plate, spread some cinnamon sugar. Gently press the moistened rim of the glass into the cinnamon sugar, coating it evenly. Be careful not to dislodge any of the sugar.
- Add Fireball Whiskey: Pour 2 ounces of Fireball Whiskey into the prepared glass, making sure to avoid washing off the cinnamon sugar rim.
- Add Hot Apple Cider: Slowly pour 5 ounces of hot apple cider into the glass. The drink will naturally mix as you pour.
- Prepare Garnishes: Take three thin red apple slices and stack them on a cocktail pick, fanning them out attractively. This pick will rest on the front side of the glass, slightly to one side.
- Garnish the Drink: Place the apple fan on the glass rim, then add a cinnamon stick inside the glass on the opposite side. Finally, drop in a couple of whole star anise pieces for aroma and visual appeal.
- Serve and Enjoy: Your Fireball Apple Cider is ready to be served warm. Sip and enjoy the spicy, sweet flavors!
