🍴Instructions
Step One: cinnamon sugar rim
First off, mix that cinnamon and sugar together on a small plate. This is going to be the sparkling touch for your glass rim.
Take a little apple juice to moisten the rim of your glass and then swish it around in the cinnamon-sugar mix.
Step Two: mix and pour
Place ice in your glass and some in your shaker too.
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.
Step three: garnish and serve
Strain your shaken mix into your beautifully prepped glass. If you’re feeling fancy, garnish with a cinnamon stick.
🥫 Storage instructions
While this drink is best enjoyed fresh, if you want to make a larger batch and save some for later, pour the mixture (without ice) into a bottle or jar and refrigerate. This should be good for up to 2 days. Freezing is not recommended as the flavors and consistency might change.
🔍 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.
