Just 2 Ingredients

I’m not a shots kind of gal. Or at least I wasn’t until I tried Fireball. The cinnamon whiskey has a touch of sweetness which makes it go down smooth.

I mean, it’s going to burn. But it will be worth it. And it makes a great ingredient for simple cocktails. (Fireball and Dr. Pepper is also a MUST!)

In this Fireball Mule, it sings. And just so you know, it makes for a delicious Pumpkin Pie and can be infused in cupcakes too. That’s a hard-working ingredient.

Can you mix Fireball with Ginger Ale

Yes! And you should. I love to look for 2-ingredient drink ideas. And Ginger Ale and Fireball is all you need.

Like Vodka and Coke, there’s hardly a recipe. But the finished project is magic.

Does Fireball Ginger Ale Have a Name

I’m not 100% sure. I did a little bit of research and came across the name “Ginger Balls.” I don’t know who decided that. I don’t know if it’s accurate. But that is the name I found. I will never ever refer to that name again.

Ingredients

You can find Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey at most local grocery stores. As I noted above, you can make all kinds of cocktails and baked goods with it so the idea of buying a whole bottle is not an outrageous idea.

If you prefer, you can buy a small, air-line sized bottle at a local wine store. That way you can try it before you buy a whole bottle.

While I prefer to keep my home bar very simple but I do get quite a bit of use out of my Fireball.

Ginger Ale is a typical cocktail mixer and they now make it in these small cans which means there is less waste. Or, if you’re having a party, you can buy a 2-liter bottle of it.

How to make Ginger Ale and Fireball Whiskey

To a short cocktail glass, add ice.

Top with Fireball whiskey then top with ginger ale.

A basic recipe would be 1 part of Fireball to 4-5 parts of ginger ale.

If you are unsure what a “part” is, it’s when you use one measurement for both ingredients but keep a certain ratio. So if a “part” is 1 ounce, you would use 1 ounce of Fireball and 4-5 ounces of ginger ale.

Top it with a maraschino cherry and you’re all set. Or even an orange slice would be fine. If you want to get extra fancy you could do a cinnamon stick.

It’s spicy, full of cinnamon flavor yet refreshing at the same time. It feels just right for Christmas and holiday parties.

But it also feels right for a camping vacation. It’s just that kind of drink.

Variations

You can add a little Cointreau to give it a hint of orange. Or you can add some amaretto for an almond kick. For being so simple it is pretty versatile.

And if this even feels like too much effort, on account of 2020, just do a shot.
