If You Like Fireball, You've Got To Try These Cinnamon Whiskeys

Get whisk(ey)ed away.

Fireball's made a name for itself with its cinnamon-spiced liquor, but if you're looking to mix things up, look no further. All four alternatives pack a boozier punch than the demon-bedecked drink (34 and 35 percent ABV to Fireball's 33) and are perfect for a variety of fall cocktails.

The name alone seems perfect for those brisk nights from late fall to early summer, and the flavor's on point, too. It's a little sweeter, with almost graham cracker-chocolate notes, reminding us of s'mores over a bonfire. 

Perfect for: Toasted Marshmallow Shots

"This whiskey smells more like Fireball than Fireball!" one editor noted. She wasn't wrong — Jack Daniel's is like an even spicier Fireball. Imagine Red Hots candy on crack. This is it.

Perfect for: spiked cider in an apple cup

If You Don't Want The Cinnamon To Overpower Your Whiskey

One of the biggest complaints about Fireball, other than the fact that one ingredient was used — at least until recently — in anti-freeze, is how the cinnamon flavor overpowers the whiskey itself. If you're looking for something a little more subtle (yet still packing 35 percent ABV), this is it.

Perfect for: Apple Cider Sangria

Cinnamon whiskey isn't exactly a sippin' drink, but this one could change your mind. Stillhouse's corn whiskey is infused with cinnamon bark and vanilla extract to make its burns-so-good blend, which is served in tins. 

Perfect for: Maple Old-Fashioned or served on the rocks
