Category: Booze of the Week – Jager!

  • Jagermeister Shots

    Despite its origins as a digestif, Jagermeister has become much better known for the taste addition it adds to various shots. Long before the Jagerbomb became popular, Jager was a central ingredient in many notorious (and often yummy) shots.

    Liquid Cocaine

    It sounds like it would be a rough shot, but the Liquid Cocaine is actually quite good and surprisingly subtle.

    • 1 part Jagermeister
    • 1 part Goldschlager
    • 1 part Bacardi 151

    Combine ingredients in a shot glass and serve.

    Dead Nazi

    Not sure where this shot got its name, but it will definitely knock you on your ass.

    • 1 part Jagermeister (chilled)
    • 1 part Rumple Minze (chilled)

    Combine ingredients in a shot glass and serve.

    Surfer on Acid

    Again with the name…

    • 1 part Jagermeister
    • 1 part Coconut rum
    • 1 part Pineapple juice

    Combine ingredient in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake until completely cold. Pour into a shot glass and serve.

    Variations of the Surfer on Acid include Barney on Acid (replacing rum with Blue Curacao and pineapple juice with cranberry juice) and the Hawaiian Surfer on Acid which adds Chambord to the original recipe.

    Oatmeal Cookie

    If you mix this shot correctly it will not only taste like an oatmeal cookie but it will become one of your favorite shots of all time. Num Num.

    • 1/4 oz Jagermeister
    • 1/4 oz Goldschlager
    • 1/4 oz Butterscotch Schnapps
    • 1/4 oz Irish Creme

    Combine ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake well. Strain into a shot glass and serve.

     

  • Red Headed Slut

    The best thing about Jagermeister, in my opinion, is the popular, and very nummy, Red Headed Slut. If you’ve never had it, you’re missing out.

    The Red Headed Slut

    • 1 part Jagermeister
    • 1 part Peach Schnapps
    • 1.5 parts Cranberry Juice

    In a shaker, combine the ingredients with ice. Shake well. Strain into a shot glass and serve.

    Variations

    Blond Headed Slut

    • 1 part Jagermeister (some recipes substitute Grand Marnier)
    • 1 part Peach Schnapps
    • 1.5 parts Pineapple Juice

    In a shaker combine ingredients with ice. Shake well. Pour into a shot glass and serve.

    Lindsey Lohan

    This is my all time favorite variation on any drink ever. I think you’ll like it too.

    • 1 part Jagermeister
    • 1 part Peach Schnapps
    • 1 part Cranberry juice
    • 6 oz Coca-cola

    Pour Coke into a pint glass. Mix Jagermeister, Schnapps and Cranberry juice in a shaker and pour into a shot glass. Drop the shot glass into the Coke and serve.

  • Jagerbombs: Shots or Nots

    I wanna take a little moment with all of you and talk about Jagerbombs.

    Now, I was already bartending when Red Bull became popular, and so I have probably mixed more Red Bull vodkas than any other drink, with Jagerbombs being a very close second.

    To me, Jagerbombs are a shot. No, they aren’t your classic shooter in a one ounce shot glass, and they take longer than .5 seconds to drink, but if one were going to classify them under any category in the drinking vernacular, I’d go with shot. Of course they are the king of their very own sub category, bomb shots, but again, shot is the operative word.

    So imagine my surprise when a reader of mine commented that I had no idea what I was talking about when I included Jagerbombs in a list of 21st birthday shots. They most clearly stated, “I don’t know why you would include Jagerbombs on this list. Jagerbombs aren’t shots!”

    Huh?

    Who is this person and where do they live that Jagerbombs aren’t shots? Or, an even better question, how long is it taking them to drink a Jagerbomb that they don’t consider it a shot? Do they know that I’m not talking about a mixed drink of Jager and Red Bull? Have they ever HAD a Jagerbomb?

    Clearly they haven’t watch countless groups of college coeds and fraternity boys slurp them down in three to five seconds and then order another round. Clearly they’ve never seen the specially made bomb shot glasses that make mixing Jagerbombs faster and easier. Clearly they’ve never had five people at their bar trying to decide what shot to have and suddenly someone yells out “Jagerbombs!”

    Or maybe I’m wrong. Nah, can’t be.

    What do you think? Do you agree with me that Jagerbombs are a shot, or do you think my reader is correct and that Jagerbombs cannot be classified in this category?
