Explosive Jaeger
The German Jägermeister bitter has an interesting history and an equally interesting tradition of use. You can drink it iced or warm, and also as part of cocktails known far beyond Germany. In combination with a properly selected snack, the impressions will be even brighter! And yet - how to drink Jägermeister correctly?
Translated from German, “Jägermeister” means “senior huntsman.” A special type of liqueur infused with herbs has been produced in Germany since 1935. It is classified as bitters, or strong alcoholic drinks with a characteristic bitter taste. The inventor of the recipe is Kurt Mast, the son of the owner of the winery in Wolfenbüttel. The name is given in honor of St. Hubert, the patron saint of hunters. And this product is produced only by Mast-Jägermeister AG, which exports its product to 30 countries.
The exact recipe for the drink is a trade secret. It is only reported that it contains a total of 56 components, including spring water and herbs from Wolfenbüttel in Lower Saxony. The collected plant materials are dried and then infused with alcohol in oak barrels.
Even the exact exposure time is not known. The manufacturer keeps everything secret regarding the composition and manufacturing technology. However, it was precisely possible to find out that first, essential oils are extracted from plant components by maceration (alternately pouring a water-alcohol mixture). This operation lasts several weeks.
Then the resulting solution is poured into 445 oak barrels grown in the Pfalzerwald, where it languishes for at least six months. After decanting the drink, it is flavored with spices (saffron, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, coriander), as well as caramel and other sweeteners. As a result, the liqueur acquires a strength of 35%.
The dark glass bottle also attracts attention. Its form is special, invented by Kurt Mast himself and has not changed since then. The label, slightly changed in design in 2016, is still decorated with poems by the German writer and forester Oscar von Riesenthal.
According to the manufacturer, if you lift a bottle above your head and drop it on an oak floor, it will break in only 1 case out of 10.
Initially, advertising positioned the German liqueur as a means to improve digestion. But after collaborating with Formula 1 and sponsoring rock festivals, he became much more famous and popular, and also acquired special rituals and cocktail recipes.
Without additives, Jägermeister is consumed in two different ways. Both are equally interesting and require only special glassware - small glasses or shots with straight or faceted walls with a capacity of no more than 45 ml. 1-2 servings are an excellent digestif before lunch or dinner.
Ice shot
The most popular method in Germany. To do this, you need to place the shots and a bottle of liquor in, where the drink is cooled to -18 degrees. At this temperature, the Jägermeister structure becomes viscous, viscous, and the alcohol is almost not felt. You can do without freezing by adding a few ice cubes to chilled glasses.
It is believed that only in this highly chilled form are the flavor nuances revealed in a special way.
After all, the ingredients include not only herbs, but also citrus peels, licorice, and spices. Everyone is trying to unravel the secret composition. If the liqueur is heated to room temperature, then the taste perception will change. To fully feel the difference, it is worth comparing both options.
Warm way
In terms of its medicinal properties, Jägermeister has much in common with Riga Balsam. Therefore, warm (room temperature) it is recommended for colds. This option is also preferred by connoisseurs who love to feel all the nuances of herbal aromas and bitterness.
Traditional recipe: pour 30 ml into a shot and drink in one gulp, then snack with a slice of orange or lemon. A glass of cold water after a couple of minutes will help enhance the effect. However, connoisseurs prefer to drink in small sips, savoring the bitterness and herbaceous taste.
A good bar will certainly have a modest bottle of Jägermeister. In Europe, the USA, and now in Russia, there are quite a few recipes for cocktails based on this bitter. To prepare most of them, you will not need any particularly rare ingredients, nor the high professionalism of the bartender. You can try this interesting recipe at home.
