- 1 cup Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey

- 1 cup water

- 1/2 cup sugar

- 1/2 cup tapioca pearls

- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Optional: whipped cream for topping

Directions:

6. Drain the cooked tapioca pearls and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.

8. Let the pearls marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors, stirring occasionally.
