The other day I was walking through one of my favorite places that I ate at for breakfast when I spotted a bag of Atomic Fireballs sitting on a shelf. I couldn’t resist picking up the bag and smelling the cinnamon flavor coming from the package.

Those little round jawbreakers brought back many wonderful memories. As a young child, I would walk up to the corner store with my oldest brother to buy pockets full of those red hot candies!

We would always have a contest to see who could keep the Atomic Fireballs in their mouths the longest. I decided to purchase a few bags to share with my brother.

How to Make Atomic Fireball Candy Infused Vodka

Place the Atomic Fireball Candy in a mason jar. Pour in the vodka. Cover the jar and seal it tightly. Shake the jar for a few minutes, then let it stand for  4-5 hours until the candy dissolves.

While the Atomic Fireball Candy is infusing with the vodka, crush the six (6) other fireball candies with a hammer, meat hammer or rolling pin.

Kim’s Note –  remove the candy from the wrappers and place the candy in a plastic bag, close the bag and wrap in a towel then smash the candy. 

Empty the crushed candy onto a plate. Wet the rim of the glass and dip into the candy. Strain the vodka to remove candy using a cheesecloth or small mesh strainer.

Fill a shaker with ice. Pour half the infused vodka into the shaker, and shake. Pour into the martini glass. Serve the rest of the infused vodka or store it in a glass jar.

Kim’s note- you could use any vodka you prefer but make sure to read the label if you need gluten-free alcohol. The Atomic Fireballs are a gluten-free candy. 

I hope you get a chance to try my Atomic Fireball Candy Infused Vodka drink recipe this holiday season.
