I Say ‘Jäger’, You Say…. ‘Cocktail’?
Let’s be real here. If you close your eyes and think of Jäger (blissful, I know) your thoughts don’t immediately land on exciting, flavourful cocktails, do they? So, when we were invited down to The Jägerhaus, a mysterious and enchanting hut, to take part in a Jäger meisterclass (see what they did there?) we of course jumped at the chance to learn a little more.
If you take just one thing from this post, it needs to be how fantastically flexible Jägermeister is for cocktails – something we’d not actually considered. On the menu, there were eight different ways to enjoy your Jäger but for us, the Punch Meister is the piece de résistance. Simple and very sweet, this cocktail is a combination of Jägermeister, apple juice and berry cider and it’s the perfect summer serve.
Still not convinced? Don’t take our word for it – check out these other cocktails on the menu:
- Black Magic
Jägermeister served with chocolate liquor
- Root56
Jägermeister, old Jamaican ginger beer, squeeze of lime and slice of cucumber served with ice
- Black Spice
Jägermeister spice topped with Pepsi and a squeeze of lime
- Purple Stag
Jägermeister, maple syrup, blackcurrant, berry tea, squeeze of lime
The lesson to be learned here? Put the YAY in Jager (it’s a thing…) and get experimenting – you won’t be disappointed.
FIVE ‘JAGER-TASTIC’ THINGS WE LEARNED FROM CHIEF MIXOLOGIST, FLORIAN BEUREN:
- Jägermeister is best served ice cold (-18 degrees to be precise). Don’t believe us? Try a shot of ice cold Jäger followed by a shot at room temperature… you’ll never look back!
- There are 56 botanicals (herbs and spices to you and me) used to give Jägermeister its signature taste
- Three hundred and eighty three quality checks take place before it makes its way into your hands
- Over 2.4 billion shots of Jägermeister are sold around the world every year.
- Jägermeister supports other flavours as opposed to dominating them – how considerate of it!
