How to Make Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey Pearls
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup tapioca pearls
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: whipped cream for topping
Directions
-
Start by soaking the tapioca pearls in a bowl filled with cold water. Ensure that the pearls are fully submerged and allow them to soak for a minimum of 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the pearls from sticking together as they soften.
-
After the soaking period, carefully drain the tapioca pearls using a fine-mesh strainer. Rinse them under cold running water to remove any excess starch, then set them aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, pour in 1 cup of Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey. Add 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl. Using a whisk or a spoon, stir the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.
-
Once the sugar is dissolved, add the drained tapioca pearls to the bowl containing the Fireball mixture. Gently fold the pearls into the mixture, ensuring that they are evenly coated with the flavorful liquid.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and allow the pearls to marinate in the whiskey mixture for at least 30 minutes. During this time, stir the mixture occasionally to help the pearls absorb the delicious flavors of the Fireball and spices.
-
After the marination period, serve the Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey Pearls in small bowls or dessert cups. If desired, add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each serving to enhance the presentation and flavor.
