Happily, they were drunk enough generous enough to oblige: ChurchKey’s Grandpapa Reusch* Ol’ Time Fireball Style Whiskey Since homemade Fireball sounds like the ultimate party-starter, we asked the ChurchKey bartenders to share their secrets with us. Like homemade Twix or from-scratch Phrosties, it maintains all of the lowbrow appeal you’re looking for, while allowing for some customization of spice-level and ingredients. It’s a favorite of college kids and dive-bar guzzlers everywhere, but it has also gained a surprising following in the bartender community, where its an effective shut-up-and-have-fun antidote to the increasingly self-serious mixology scene.Īt ChurchKey in Washington, D.C., the bar staff loves it so much that they make their own DIY Fireball using Evan Williams bourbon, chili flakes, and real cinnamon sticks. (To give you a sense of Fireball’s meteoric rise, it grew from $1.9 million in sales in 2011 to $61 million in 2013.) The flavored spirit-which recalls the spicy sweetness of an Atomic Fireball candy-is the breakout star of the booze world, surpassing Jose Cuervo tequila and closing in on the ultimate king of the shots scene, Jaegermeister. If you haven’t heard of Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey, you haven’t been partying hard enough recently.
