Jagermeister

Love it or hate it, Jagermeister is one of the most recognizable bottles in the world. This German herbal liqueur blends 56 botanicals including star anise, citrus peel, and ginger root, then ages in oak for a year. Sure, you know the Jager Bomb — drop a shot into Red Bull — but it actually works well in more sophisticated drinks when you treat it like an amaro. Serve it ice-cold; that’s non-negotiable. The recipe dates back to 1934, created by Curt Mast, a vinegar manufacturer’s son who clearly had bigger ambitions.
