A sweet, spicy, and boozy twist on classic jello shots, these Fireball Jello Shot Cupcakes bring the warmth of cinnamon whiskey into a fun, party-ready treat. Perfect for celebrations, these mini shots pack a punch in a cute cupcake form!
Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups ginger ale
2 envelopes plain gelatin
2/3 cup Fireball Whisky
A few drops of red food coloring (optional, for a fiery hue)
Whipped cream or buttercream frosting (for topping)
Ground cinnamon or red sprinkles (for garnish)
Mini cupcake liners or small plastic cups
Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Gelatin Mix
Pour ginger ale into a saucepan and sprinkle plain gelatin over the top. Let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin fully dissolves (about 5 minutes).
2️⃣ Add the Fireball
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in Fireball Whisky and add red food coloring if desired.
3️⃣ Pour & Set
Arrange mini cupcake liners on a baking sheet or use small plastic cups.
Pour the gelatin mixture into each liner, filling them ¾ full.
4️⃣ Chill
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
5️⃣ Top & Garnish
Once set, top each shot with whipped cream or buttercream frosting.
Sprinkle with ground cinnamon or red sprinkles for a spicy-sweet touch.
6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
Keep refrigerated until serving. Cheers!
Tips:
✔ Stronger version: Add ¾ cup Fireball and reduce the ginger ale slightly.
✔ Sweeter option: Use apple cider instead of ginger ale for a warm, spiced apple-cinnamon twist.
✔ Non-alcoholic version: Replace Fireball with cinnamon-flavored syrup.
Fireball Jello Shot Cupcakes are the perfect party treat—spicy, sweet, and dangerously good!
