Fireball Cherry Blasters

Here’s a recipe for Fireball Cherry Blasters, a spicy-sweet adult candy shot or infused treat made using Fireball Cinnamon Whisky and cherry-flavored candies or fruit. There are two popular ways to make them:

🔥 Fireball Cherry Blasters (Infused Cherry Candy)

🍒 Version 1: Fireball-Infused Cherry Sour Candy (Shot Garnish or Treat)

This version turns cherry sour candies (like Sour Cherry Blasters or Sour Patch Cherries) into boozy, spicy-sweet adult candies.

🧂 Ingredients:

• 1 cup Fireball Cinnamon Whisky

• 1/2 to 1 cup sour cherry candies (e.g., Maynards Sour Cherry Blasters)

• Optional: pinch of cayenne or chili powder (for extra heat)

🛠️ Tools:

• Mason jar or sealable glass container

• Fine mesh strainer

• Small dish or bowl

• Optional: cocktail picks

🧑‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Jar
   Add the sour cherry candies to a clean mason jar or glass container.

2. Pour the Fireball
   Cover the candies completely with Fireball. Use 1 cup Fireball for every 1/2 to 1 cup of candy depending on how strong you want the flavor.

3. Optional Spice Kick
   For extra heat, stir in a small pinch of cayenne or chili powder.

4. Infuse
   Seal the jar and let sit at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours, shaking occasionally.
   The candies will start to dissolve, turning the Fireball into a spicy-sour cherry shot.

5. Strain or Leave as Is
   You can:

   • Strain out the solids for a clear spicy cherry shot, or

   • Serve the semi-dissolved candies as boozy gummies with toothpicks or cocktail picks.

6. Chill & Serve
   Refrigerate before serving. Serve as a shot, over ice, or use the infused candies as cocktail garnishes.

🍸 Version 2: Fireball Cherry Bomb Shot (Party Shot)

If you’re looking for a cherry Fireball shooter instead of candy:

Ingredients:

• 1 oz Fireball Cinnamon Whisky

• 0.5 oz cherry liqueur (like Cherry Heering or DeKuyper Cherry)

• Optional splash of lemon juice or sour mix

• Ice

Instructions:

1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

2. Add Fireball and cherry liqueur. Add a splash of sour mix or lemon juice for tartness.

3. Shake well and strain into a shot glass.

4. Optional: Garnish with a sour cherry candy or rim the glass with sour sugar.

🧊 Storage Tips:

• Infused candies or syrup can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1–2 weeks.

• Shake before serving, especially if there’s sugar sediment.
