Black Widow Drink
If you are looking for an amazing Halloween cocktail, you are going to love this Black Widow drink. Perfect for parties and get-togethers, this easy to make Black Widow Cocktail is perfect.
What is Fireball
Fireball is a strong tasting alcohol that is a cinnamon flavor. For some, the cinnamon flavor is too strong. For others, they love the burn. It is really a personal preference. When Fireball is mixed together with the tequilla and spiced rum, the flavors go perfectly together. It is then mixed with cherry apple juice to reduce the strongness of the flavors.
What can I use instead of Spiced Rum
Spiced rum is similar to white rum, however, it has stronger flavors to the drink. Spiced rum seems to be an acquired taste. Some people love it some people hate it. If you fall into the I hate spiced rum section, you can use white rum.
Is This Black Widow Cocktail Strong
When it comes to cocktails, some people like a strong cocktail, while others like a more mild drink. If you make this drink the way it is written, it is going to have a strong taste. There is almost the same amount of alcohol as there is cherry apple juice. If this is too strong for you, simply increase the amount of juice which will even out the strongness of the alcohol.
Can I make this into a Black Widow Shot
Sometimes you love a drink but want to make it into a shot. If you want to make this into a Black Widow shot, then you will want to make a large batch of the recipe and then serve it in show form. I like to make this in a pitcher and then serve each shot with a cherry. That might be because I really love the cherries in this.

Would this be good in a test tube shooter?! Or is sipping required? 😬
