Ingredients (Makes ~50 gummies, depending on mold size)
- 1 cup Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey
- ½ cup cold water
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (for the mixture)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- Extra cinnamon (optional, for coating)
Tips for Success
- Use Silicone Molds: Silicone gummy molds make removal super easy and help with shape consistency.
- Low Heat Only: Never boil the whiskey mixture—alcohol is sensitive to heat and can evaporate quickly.
- Bloom the Gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin slowly and stir constantly to avoid clumping.
- Flavor Customization: Add a dash of vanilla extract or chili powder for a twist.
- Sugar Coating Tip: Coat just before serving to avoid sugar dissolving from moisture.
- Make It Vegan: Substitute gelatin with agar-agar (adjust quantities per package instructions).
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the Fireball Whiskey and cold water. Stir to mix gently.
- Slowly sprinkle the gelatin powder over the liquid while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
- Add ¼ cup granulated sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon, stirring until fully dissolved and smooth.
- Remove the pan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly—this helps with even setting.
- Carefully pour the mixture into silicone gummy molds, filling each cavity to the top.
- Transfer molds to the fridge and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until firm and set.
- Gently remove gummies from molds.
- In a shallow bowl, mix ¼ cup sugar with a pinch of cinnamon (to taste). Roll each gummy in the mix until coated.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled!
