How to Make a Jager Bomb

The Jager bomb is a very popular bomb shot cocktail, originally made from a mixture of Red Bull and Jagermeister.  It has an unusual taste which some liken to cough syrup and gives you a “boost” from the alcohol-caffeine combination.  Treat this one with respect- it’s easy to have one too many as the Red Bull offsets the depressant effect of the alcohol content.

What is Jagermeister?

Jagermeister is a fairly potent herbal liqueur with a taste thats slightly like aniseed.

Do you have to use Red Bull?

This drink can be made with any energy drink similar to Red Bull so feel free to experiment with your preferred brand. Please note however that this may drastically alter the taste so for the true Jager Bomb experience stick to the Red Bull!

You will need

• A medium or pint sized glass
• A shot glass
• 1/2 can Red Bull energy drink
• 1-2 oz shot of Jagermeister herbal liqueur

Preparation

Jagerbomb

Firstly, pre-chill the ingredients.  Now this is the fun part!  To mix one of  these properly you need to do it by dropping a shot glass of Jagermeister into a glass of Red Bull.

Jager-trains

If you’re having a party and need to make multiple Jagerbombs, show off your bartending in a theatrical way by making your own Jager-train!  It works like this:

Line up glasses of Red Bull with an empty glass at one end. You then need to carefully balance shot glasses of Jagermeister between the rims of a pair of pint glasses as you go along the line. This takes a little trial and error, but the idea is that when you position the shot glasses correctly you just push one to create a domino effect of shots falling into glasses of Red Bull!

Jagerbomb Cocktail

If you want to drink a Jagerbomb in a more relaxed fashion you can make it as a mixed cocktail on the rocks.  Simply fill a rocks glass with ice, add 1-2 oz of Jagermeister liqueur then top up with Red Bull energy drink.
