What to Mix with Fireball Whisky

When you first started drinking alcohol, you probably enjoyed more than one shot of fireball whiskey. Downing shots of this spicy whiskey is a rite of passage from childhood to adulthood, but at some point, you have to put down the shot glass and pick up the mixers instead.

Fireball tastes great as a shot, but it tastes even better when you add it to a mixer. Of course, finding the mixer that works best for you isn’t always the easiest task.

In this guide, we’re taking a look at some of the best mixers for Fireball, so to find the one for you, keep on reading.


If you have tasted Fireball before, then you will know that it is a brand of cinnamon whiskey.

It is produced by mixing Canadian whiskey with cinnamon flavoring and sweeteners to completely transform the original whiskey into something different.

Even though Canadian whiskey is used to make Fireball, it is actually produced in Louisiana, and it is popular all over the world.

Fireball is weaker than most whiskeys due to the addition of sweeteners to its ingredients list, even though you won’t be able to taste them.

But what is the best mixer for it? Let’s find out.
