Fireball eggnog is a delicious cinnamon twist on the classic holiday drink made with the popular cinnamon whiskey. The warm spice and sweet flavor tastes just like Christmas – you’ll be looking forward to it all year long!
Fireball eggnog is my cozy, cinnamon-spiked take on a classic holiday favorite. I love how creamy eggnog pairs with warm cinnamon whiskey — it’s festive, comforting, and just a little indulgent, making it perfect for sipping while I decorate the tree, wrap gifts, or settle in for a quiet winter evening.
There’s a moment every year when the first cartons of eggnog hit the shelves and the holidays suddenly feel very real. While I grew up drinking it plain (or with a splash of rum or brandy later on), adding cinnamon whiskey feels like the natural next step. I usually just shake Fireball and eggnog together and call it done, but when I’m feeling extra festive, I’ll rim the glass with cinnamon sugar for a sweet, spiced finish that makes it feel a little special.
How to make a batch for a gathering
Fireball whiskey will spread the festive mood to your holiday gatherings! To make a batch, use cups instead of ounces. For example, 4 cups of eggnog and 2 cups of Fireball. You can keep a pitcher in your fridge until party time and then add a little ice right before serving.
Tip: Save time by rimming the glasses in cinnamon sugar up to a day ahead.
