Fireball cinnamon whiskey pearls

 


Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey Pearls


Ingredients:

- 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:

1. Begin by bringing 1 cup of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

2. Once the water is boiling, add the tapioca pearls to the saucepan. Stir gently to prevent sticking.

3. Reduce the heat to low and let the pearls simmer for about 15 minutes or until they become translucent and chewy. Stir occasionally.

4. After cooking, remove the saucepan from heat and let the pearls sit for an additional 10 minutes in the water to ensure they are fully cooked.

5. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar has dissolved completely.

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

7. Add the rinsed pearls to the bowl with the Fireball mixture. Stir gently to coat the pearls evenly with the whiskey mixture.

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

9. Serve the Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey pearls in small bowls, topped with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
