Does fireball and pineapple juice taste like pumpkin pie?
Yes, fireball and pineapple juice can taste like pumpkin pie.
Pumpkin pie is a combination of sweet spices and pumpkin pieces mixed with cream, eggs and sugar. The sweet spices can be cinnamon, nutmeg or ginger. The pumpkin pieces can be added to the mix in order to give it a more natural look.
When you mix fireball and pineapple juice together, you get a similar effect: there is a lot of sugar in both drinks, but they have different flavors. The sweetness of fireball is much stronger than that of pineapple juice, so you will need to add more sugar if you want your drink to taste like pumpkin pie.
