Fireball Review
(this may or may not have been written whilst reviewing the brew)
It’s hard to believe that I’ve spent over two decades avoiding this alcohol, strictly out of fear that it lives up to its name – but I’m here to tell you that this fiery beast does not make you catch on fire. (well the drink itself won’t set you on fire, your actions once consuming this drink may cause spontaneous combustion, I don’t know though, it’s really up to you) Prior to a couple of Saturdays ago, I had never tried this bev, simply because it never really sounded appealing , it never looked all that appealing and most of my mates are die hard purple pals stans so I’d never been referred to it by a friend. However, this obnoxiously drunk man so kindly forced it down my throat and I would like to give him the biggest thank you hug for doing so.
My world has now been opened up to the sweet cinnamon-y goodness that is Fireball. It tastes like something that starbucks would realese in the holiday period if we were American and all drunk those stupid pumpkin spice lattes. Very cinnamon, very sweet and very warm (but in a good way). Unlike other spirits like vodka or tequila it doesn’t burn your throat but instead warms your stomach (and your heart) . It’s a cinnamon whiskey that is either sold in 700ml and 1L bottles and is 33% so it’s most definitely not for the weak!
I think that fireball is best served on its own, drunk straight from the bottle and chased down with whatever can of silly RTD you have in your hand. It is also best used as a side dish to a box of whatever you’re drinking that night but you’re a real wild child, just sack it and take the whole bottle. I’m not sure what you would mix it with, but I knew a girl who mixed it with orange juice and didn’t make it town so maybe don’t do that. Or do, once again it’s up to you. If you hate the warm feeling in your stomach, maybe some cold milk as a chaser. To help cool you down. Science!
As a new member to the Fireball fan club it seems as though my eyes (and ears!) have finally been opened and I unironically listen to Pitbull’s ‘fireball’ on repeat and I’m not even sorry. Overall pop down to your closest liquor store which I hope is either thirsty hillcrest or super liquor hillcrest (shop local!) . Grab yourself a bottle of fireball or two and jam out to some Mr worldwide. Nothing like listening to fireball while sippin on fireball. Say fireball again. Fireball.
Stay safe and drink responsibly kiddies.
