🍫 What is a Fireball Hot Chocolate?

A fireball hot chocolate is a warm mug of hot chocolate with a shot of Fireball stirred in. This delicious and decadent cocktail tastes sweet and rich it’s full of chocolate flavor and heavily infused with a spicy cinnamon.

With only two ingredients, this drink is really easy to make. It only takes a few minutes. The hot chocolate does take a little while to make, but it’s so easy to do. All you have to do is toss your ingredients together and give them a stir.

The spicy cinnamon from the fireball is a standout in this cocktail much like other fireball drinks like the fireball apple cider or fireball and coffee.

Here are some reasons you’re sure to love this cocktail:

• Sweet and spicy. The rich chocolate flavor combines for a perfect balance with the spicy and fiery kick of cinnamon. It creates a bold and delicious drink.
• Make it easily. There’s nothing elaborate to this drink. All you have to do is toss your ingredients together and stir them up.
• Perfect for winter weather. This warm and indulgent cocktail is perfect for cozying up with during cold winter days or nights.

Is sweet and spicy warm drink is very versatile and well suited to be served at a variety of occasions including:

• Winter holidays

📖 Variations

Use some of these ideas if you need some ingredient substitutions or slight flavor variations:

• Make it dairy-free. Make the hot chocolate with a dairy-free alternative such as oatmeal hot chocolate.
• Add extra garnishes. Add some mini chocolate chips, a couple dashes of cinnamon or even a couple red hots.
• Make a flavored hot chocolate. Ramp up the decadent dessert flavor in the strength by making an orange hot chocolate or other flavor.
• Use a different cinnamon liqueur. Obviously Fireball is the go-to for this drink. However, if you don’t have any, you can make a similar flavored hot chocolate by using another cinnamon flavored liqueur like goldschlager.

🥄 Equipment

• Coffee Mug
• jigger

📋 Ingredients

• 6 oz Hot Chocolate – You can use instant hot chocolate or you can make your own recipe. We really like to use a dark hot chocolate made from instant mix.

• (optional garnish) Whipped Cream
