Using a cocktail shaker, bring together the vanilla vodka, Fireball, and apple juice or cider. Add a couple of ice cubes and give it a good shake, ensuring everything’s mixed well.

🔍 FAQs
Absolutely! If you have whipped cream vodka, that’s a delightful alternative. And plain will do in a pinch!
The Fireball adds a spicy cinnamon kick, but if you’re not a fan or don’t have it on hand, you can skip it or use regular whiskey with a dash more of cinnamon.
