Whether you buy it in bulk or make a DIY knockoff at home, Fireball Cinnamon Whisky continues to spread its fiery plume of domination across the American bar scene like a comet in the night sky.

You’ve likely guzzled the blazing liquid in countless shots, but have you explored its cocktail capabilities? Shock and wow with these fire-breathing recipes that mimic a beloved breakfast cereal, fresh apple pie and fall in a glass.

1. Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shot

Breakfast and the bar rarely mingle due to their opposing schedules. But if you believe that cereal is a meal best enjoyed without time constraints, then you’ll be jazzed to discover this Cinnamon Toast Crunch–inspired shot. The simple formula? Equal parts Fireball whisky and RumChata—the creamy horchata-flavored liqueur—rimmed with cinnamon sugar.

2. Foolproof Fall Cocktail

Foolproof is no exaggeration. This cocktail doesn’t require a complex shopping list or carefully carved garnishes. The main players are merely Fireball and hard cider. Sure, you can fancy up the glass with a cinnamon stick or apple slice, but let this new and improved Dynamic Duo handle all the talking.

3. Apple Pie on the Rocks

No need to pre-heat: If your baking skills are meager at best, churn out a perfectly drinkable pie facsimile instead. Fireball lends cinnamon firepower while vanilla vodka and apple juice channel the aroma of baked apples wafting from the kitchen. Serve with extra cinnamon and a brown sugar rim—your oven never has to know.
