Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz spicy whiskey (e.g., Bulleit Rye or Fireball)
- 1 oz grenadine
- 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 oz angostura bitters
- 1 splash ginger beer (for fizz)
- Garnish: candied jalapeño slice, lemon twist, or red candy “fuel rods”
Instructions
- Fill a shaker with ice.
- Add spicy whiskey, grenadine, lemon juice, and bitters.
- Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds.
- Strain into a chilled test tube or highball glass over fresh ice.
- Top with a splash of ginger beer.
- Garnish and serve immediately — watch it glow!
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, swap whiskey for spicy ginger syrup + apple juice.
- Grenadine density causes layering — shake well for full integration or pour slowly over the back of a spoon for a gradient effect.
- Use LED ice cubes or blacklight for extra “nuclear” flair.
