The article highlights the unexpected versatility of Fireball, a cinnamon whisky liqueur, particularly when paired with RumChata, a cream liqueur. This combination creates a drink that mirrors the flavor profile of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. The drink's history traces back to RumChata's founder, Tom Maas, who used the cereal's flavor to promote his product in bars. The article provides cocktail recipes, including shots and longer mixed drinks, suggesting that this pairing appeals to adults nostalgic for childhood flavors.
If you’ve been writing Fireball off as the totem of frat house mini fridges and Jell-O shots, you’ve been seriously underestimating this warming, versatile, accessible cinnamon whisky liqueur.
For a Cinnamon Toast Crunch-flavored drink, mix Fireball with RumChata, emulating that toasty, cinnamon sugar flavor profile fans expect from Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
When RumChata first hit the market in 2009, founder Tom Maas embarked on a Midwest publicity tour, hitting bars to help the new liqueur gain popularity.
Follow Maas' lead and rip Fireball and RumChata as a shooter, or stretch this spiced combo into a longer mixed drink with coconut milk.
