Fireball Whisky Has Been Recalled in Europe, So Here are 10 Cinnamon Cocktails to Make Instead
So Fireball whisky has been recalled in Europe, and if you're an overdramatic whisky-loving princess like me, you're probably thinking to yourself that life is basically over, because even though you have no idea what propylene glycol is or what drinking excessive levels of it will do to you, you don't really want to find out. Not to worry — there are plenty of other options out there when it comes to getting your cinnamon-infused booze fix. Because I believe in the importance of having a good backup plan in times of emergencies like this, here are 10 cinnamon cocktail recipes you can make without Fireball that will fill that empty void left behind by the recall. They're sweet, easy-to-make, and they'll still leave your soul feeling all warm and fuzzy. Cheers.
Cinnamon Sour
When you taste this cinnamon, Jameson, and Amaretto combo by A Beautiful Mess, you won’t even remember what Fireball is. Lime juice gives it just the right amount of kick.

Cinnamon-infused Cranberry Orange Vodka
Forget whisky! My Baking Addiction infuses vodka with cinnamon to create a cranberry orange flavor that makes the perfect mixer (citrus rosemary and candy cane both sound pretty delish too, am I right?)

Ginger Pumpkin Bourbon Fizz with Cinnamon Sugar
Consider this the boozy, less basic alternative to pumpkin spice lattes. Bourbon and pumpkin beer blend together seamlessly to form this aromatic treat. Climbing Grier Mountain tops it all off with cinnamon sugar on the rim.

Spiced Cinnamon Apple Cider
Contrary to popular belief, even something as seemingly perfect as apple cider can be improved. Spike yours with dark rum, and you’ll be wondering why you ever drank anything else in the first place. Munchin with Munchkin has the recipe.
