Does Fireball Cinnamon Whisky Really Contain Antifreeze?

Joni Hanebutt/Shutterstock Fireball Cinnamon Whisky has built up a spicy reputation over the years. Technically, Fireball doesn’t quite count as whisky anyway, since whisky needs to have at least 40% fermented grain liquor, and Fireball caps at 33% alcohol by volume. Regarding the rest of the beverage, a popular rumor used to go around suggesting that Fireball also contained antifreeze, leading to the drink being banned in Europe. But is there any truth to this? The short answer is no, Fireball Whisky does not contain antifreeze. However, the drink used to include an ingredient … Read more

Bibimbap – Leels Cooks

I am ALL about Korean food and gochujang right now, and if you know me well enough, you’ll know that ANYTHING with an egg on it is the best thing that ever happened. So this is how I make my version of bibimbap. What is bibimbap? Basically a bowl of warm white rice topped with miscellaneous vegetables, meat if you wish, topped with an egg and gochujang pepper sauce. Usually enjoyed in a hot stone bowl that continues to cook and crisp up the rice, but you can go without. What do you put in bibimbap? Lots of things! First we … Read more

Pork Bao – First Try! – Leels Cooks

I love bao, really any type of steamed bun, but the bbq pork type you get at dim sum are my absolute favourite. I grew up in Vancouver where Asian food is cheap and readily available, but life has led me to places where that is no longer the case. So if I can’t get it,  let’s try to make it.   I grabbed the recipe from Tasting Table as I just wanted what looked like a basic dough recipe, and would wing the filling. I didn’t want to have to get any other ingredients and wanted to use what I … Read more

20 Dairy Queen Blizzard Flavors Ranked Worst To Best

Sarah Moore/Chowhound Dairy Queen’s Blizzards hold a hallowed spot in my heart. Since childhood, these have been a favorite treat among my family members. We got them on vacations or after big events, or sometimes just for fun, since my mom loves them as much as we do. They have remained a way to treat ourselves to this day, which is why my family — one husband, one small boy, and one small girl — was so delighted to have a chance to taste test every single Blizzard Dairy Queen has to … Read more

Amp Up Your Bourbon Cocktail With A Pickle Juice Twist

5PH/Shutterstock We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. If you haven’t been a regular at the local dive bar, or maybe even a slightly more upscale place for that matter, in the last couple decades or so, you may not be familiar with a pickleback. This strange-sounding shooter is a shot of whiskey, typically bourbon or Jameson, followed by a shot of pickle juice, straight out of the jar. There’s a scientific reason pickle juice is the perfect chaser for whiskey — it’s all about the flavor combination: tangy … Read more
