Homemade Fireball Recipe
Make Your Own Fireball Whiskey
If you've been panicking over the Fireball recall in Europe, fear no more! Sure, it's still laced with propylene glycol (a component of ecigarettes and antifreeze), but we've got a homemade version that's even tastier than the original. Trust us, once you've tried this, you'll never go back to the sketchy store-bought stuff again.
