ED- Fireball, the cinnamon-flavored booze responsible for many a wild college night, has officially been morphed into a breakfast food — and we must rejoice. Alex Berkowitz, owner of The Bagel Nook in Freehold, New Jersey, took one for Team Fire and created his own interpretation of Fireball bagels, which have since gone viral (naturally). Ready to buy Fireball bagels is mass quantities? Here’s what you need to know. Made with a splash of the famous cinnamon whiskey in the dough and dipped in an equally boozy reduced glaze, Berkowitz’s genius bagel creation is practically bursting with cinnamon flavor that’s bound to awaken your senses if you’re mid-hangover. Delish writer Lindsay Funston went to The Bagel Nook to see firsthand exactly how Berkowitz makes his now-famous Fireball bagels.

Oh wow. This would be a great idea. This would be a huge money maker. This would make the type of money people retire off of. People would be falling out of windows to get just a glance at Fireball bagels……..if it were 2013. Fireball was the hottest drink since sliced bread back in 2013. So hot that Mike Napoli took it upon himself to almost burn down the city of Boston with it after the Red Sox won the World Series. Unfortunately these bagel makers missed the Fireball boom by a solid 4 years. College freshman have started school and graduated since Fireball was hot in the streets. People still occasionally drink Fireball when they wanna turn back the clock but, that’s the thing, people drink it ironically now. Anybody talking shots of Fireball in 2017 started with, “LOL you know what we should do? LOL take shots of Fireball! LOL!” But can you imagine showing up to a tailgate in 2017 with Fireball bagels? Those people would never talk to you again. You’d need to get an entire new group of friends and you’re not exactly a top-tier friend free agent if you’re bringing cinnamon whiskey-flavored bagels to the table. Not a good look.
