How to Drink Jägermeister: 10 Steps
Step 1: Chill the Jägermeister
For the best taste, chill your bottle of Jägermeister to around -18°C (0°F). You can place it in the freezer for a few hours to achieve optimal temperature.
Step 2: Choose your glassware
Traditionally, Jägermeister is served in a shot glass. However, you can also use other small glasses if you prefer a more refined experience.
Step 3: Pour a shot
Fill your chosen glass with 1.5 ounces (45ml) of chilled Jägermeister. Be sure not to over-pour, as this may lead to spillage during consumption.
Step 4: Prep the chaser
Choose a chaser or mixer to accompany your Jägermeister experience. Popular options include energy drinks, ginger beer, soda water or fruit juice.
Step 5: Toast and enjoy
Raise your shot of Jägermeister in a toast to good company and great times before downing it in one swift motion. Follow immediately with your chosen chaser or mixer.
Step 6: Try it in a cocktail
Jägermeister is a versatile liqueur that works well in many cocktails. Try classics such as the “Jäger Bomb” (mixing it with an energy drink and dropping it into a glass of beer), or get creative with concoctions like the “Angry Stag” (blending it with ginger beer and lime).
Step 7: Sip it!
Jägermeister isn’t just for shots — it can also be enjoyed neat as a digestif after meals. Sip on a small amount slowly, allowing yourself to savor its complex flavor profile.
Step 8: Pair it with food
The herbaceous flavors of Jägermeister complement various dishes, particularly those with bold and slightly bitter flavors. Pair it with cured meats, cheeses, or dark chocolate for a delightful after-dinner treat.
Step 9: Share the experience
Jägermeister is about bringing people together. Share the liqueur with friends at a gathering or make new friends over shots at your favorite watering hole.
Step 10: Drink responsibly
Lastly, always remember to drink Jägermeister responsibly. Enjoy it in moderation and never drink and drive. Cheers!
