So the following recipes come with a story attached. A friend recently challenged me to create some recipes with Jägermeister that were more along the cocktail variety rather than the usual recipes most people associate with Jägermeister, such as the Yager Bomb, Purple Nipple or Screaming Nazi. So being the cocktail geek that I am, I had to accept this challenge.
By playing off the underlying flavors that are Jägermeister such as ginger, orange and cinnamon the results proved to be interesting and surprised me as I initially had my doubts. The recipes follow below.
You’ve got Moxy Kiddo-
1oz Blanco
1/2 Grand Marnier
1 Dash Peychaud
1/2 Jager
2 Dash Regan Orange
1/4 Oz of Mezcal
1/2 Oz Simple
Garnish with Orange Peel(Burnt)
Coupe Glass
Mandarin Sun-
1 ¼ Blanco Tequila
¼ Aperol
¼ Lillet Blanc
3 Dash West Indian Orange Bitters
¼ Yager
Burn Orange Zest, to get the oils out, run along edge of glass and place in bottom of glass.
Should be served in a coupe glass.
Tea Time with Marty-
2 oz Martin Miller Gin
¼ Jager
¼ Grand Marnier
2 Dash Regans Orange Bitters
½ Oz St. Germain Elderflower
¼ Lime Juice
Shake with Ice
Serve in Coupe Glass
Personally I have a theory that pretty much any spirit can be utilized in a cocktail given enough time to think about the ingredients you plan to pair it with. Using this philosophy you can usually come up with some good results.
