Ingredients

2 ounces Fireball whiskey (60ml)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
squeeze of lemon juice
heavy or whipping cream (35%) as needed
ground cinnamon to garnish

Instructions

Add ice to your cocktail shaker and measure in the Fireball whiskey and maple syrup. Shake well til ice cold.
Pour into shot glasses.
Gently pour the cream on top of the shots. Hold a teaspoon, just touching the whiskey with the bottom curved side facing up, and pour the cream on top of it so it rests on top of the drink.
Sprinkle with a little ground cinnamon to serve.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled for the freshest flavor.
You can replace the maple syrup with honey, but make sure it is a thin runny honey or the drink will be too thick.
Shake well with ice so that the whiskey is super cold - it's be much easier to drink.
I love the addition of the cream on top, but you ca skip it if you prefer, it will still be tasty!
