Servings: 1 drink
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey
- 4 ounces Orange Juice
- 1/2 ounce Grenadine:
- Orange Slice for garnish
- Maraschino Cherry for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Glass:
- Fill a highball glass with ice cubes to chill the glass.
Mix the Drink:
- Pour the Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey over the ice.
- Add the orange juice gently on top of the whiskey. The idea is to maintain distinct layers before adding the grenadine.
Add the Grenadine:
- Slowly pour the grenadine into the drink. It should sink and then gradually rise to mix with the other ingredients, creating a “sunrise” effect—gradual shading from red at the bottom to orange above.
Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with a slice of orange and a maraschino cherry on the rim of the glass or dropped into the drink.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Tips:
- Layering: To enhance the layered effect, pour the orange juice over the back of a spoon to distribute it more evenly and prevent it from mixing too quickly with the whiskey.
- Adjusting Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can increase the amount of grenadine slightly.
