There's only two ways I've ever heard of anyone drinking Jägermeister: As a shot. And as a Bomb.
I had no idea you could actually make a decent cocktail with the stuff. (Or, honestly, that you'd want to.) But apparently you can. And here are four that prove it.
Not only do they showcase Jäger's unique flavor, but they mellow it slightly... letting you actually enjoy the drink, instead of trying to get it down as quickly as possible. Like on your typical Saturday night drunkfest.
And even though a few of these drinks call for Grenadine, don't mistake them for girly... they still have the Jäger power to put you on your ass. (One drink is named the "Widow Maker", that should be a clue...) They just happen to look more refined.
Useful for when that date ends up back at your place for a little "after-hours" and all you have on the bar is Jäger. "Can I mix you a Bed of Roses?" will go over a helluva lot better than, "Hey, wanna do shots?"
