These easy Fireball Jello Shots are packed with apple and cinnamon flavor, making them the ultimate party treat for fall. They’re sweet, a little spicy, and so easy to make ahead for game days, tailgates, or holiday parties!
Gently grease plastic jello shot cups with cooking spray to help the jello shots release better. Wipe away excess with a paper towel so that only trace residue remains.
In a saucepan, combine apple juice and sugar. Sprinkle gelatin over top. Let sit 2-3 minutes until the surface is wrinkled.
Heat on medium heat and stir until sugar and gelatin have dissolved. The mixture should be smooth with no graininess. Stir in spiced bourbon.
Meanwhile, make the cinnamon sugar. In a medium bowl, combine sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir until evenly distributed. Pour some onto a plate for rimming the glasses. Rub a lemon wedge around the edge of the shot glasses. Roll the edge in the cinnamon sugar. (You can also do this step just before serving, but it can be a little messier.)
Pour into the prepared shot glasses. Refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
Notes
You can make your own cinnamon whiskey infusion with cinnamon sticks and whiskey.
Fireball whisky can be intense. You can tamp down the intensity by mixing in an unflavored bourbon.
