If you’re searching for a cocktail that stands out, I’ve got just the drink for you. A Fireball and Sprite is bursting with flavor and simplicity. It’s quick to make, and its unique taste is sure to impress.
Making this drink takes only a minute. Just mix Fireball and Sprite in a tall glass for a refreshing, fizzy cocktail. During the holidays, I love to add a cocktail cherry or fresh cranberries to give it that festive touch.
Fireball and Sprite cocktail recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 oz Fireball
- 4 oz Sprite
Instructions:
- Measure 2 oz of Fireball using a jigger and pour it into a glass.
- Measure 4 oz of Sprite and add it to the glass. You can pour Sprite directly into the glass if you prefer.
- Mix gently and enjoy!
This bubbly and spicy drink is perfect when you’re short on time. The spicy cinnamon from Fireball pairs so well with the refreshing Sprite, making it one of my favorite quick cocktails. Plus, it’s budget-friendly!
Tips
- Instead of ice, pour the Sprite and Fireball over a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a boozy float.
- Brighten it up with a squeeze of citrus – I like to use about an ounce of fresh lemon juice.
- Experiment with garnishes like lemon wheels or lemon wedges for extra citrus flavor.
Citrus and whisky have always been a staple in the cocktail world because the two are a great pairing.
What is Fireball and Sprite called?
There’s no official name for a mix of Fireball and Sprite. Some people simply call it a Whisky and Sprite. I like to call it a “Fire Elf,” because sprites are mythological elves. It makes the drink sound magical!
Ingredients
To make this simple cocktail, you need:
- Fireball – The primary ingredient with a spicy cinnamon kick.
- Sprite – I use Diet Sprite, but regular Sprite works fine too.
- Ice – Traditional ice cubes are my favorite.
- Garnish – Optional, but I enjoy adding a cocktail cherry or lemon peel for some extra flair.
The sweetness of the Sprite perfectly balances the intense spice of Fireball whisky.
When to serve a Fireball and Sprite
I love serving Fireball and Sprite because it fits so many occasions. It’s perfect for a hot summer day or as an afternoon treat. It also makes a fun cocktail hour drink and adds a festive touch to holiday gatherings. This drink is always a hit and brings some spicy fun to any event.
What if I don’t have any Sprite?
If I’m out of Sprite, I can use other soda options like Sierra Mist, 7-Up, or Fresca. Even a store brand lemon-lime soda works. For something different, I could use Mountain Dew for a sweeter, more intense flavor. Another choice is lemon or lime seltzer water; I just stir in some simple syrup for sweetness.
